The Kohlmühle, one of eight mills in Pottenstein, originally built around 1718, was affected by the great fire in Pottenstein in 1736 and was subsequently rebuilt, making it one of the oldest buildings in the rocky town. Operating as a grinding mill, the mill still has an undersized, fully functional water wheel on the northern wall of the building. The mill wheel is operated by a specially diverted branch of the Püttlach. Today the Kohlmühle is privately owned by the Zambelli family and houses a cozy guest guesthouse.
