A mill operation (Moulin) at this location can be traced documentarily back to the year 1377. After a decline after the Second World War, the facility was extensively restored in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as more recently. The wash house (Lavoir) directly on the water was formerly used by the women of the village to wash clothes and cloths in the river. The typically flat concrete or stone edge at the basin rim offered space for scrubbing and wringing out the laundry.

There is also filtered water here for refilling, with and without bubbles.

The monument consists of a multi-tiered, rustic base made of natural stones. An artfully decorated wrought-iron cross is anchored to this stone foundation, which certainly stood here even before the founding of the brotherhood.
