This late medieval watermill is situated in the middle of the nature reserve Kueener ponds on the reed-lined, dammed-up mill pond.
The water mill of the Gut Kuten was first mentioned in 1435 in a sales contract between the Preetz Monastery and the miller Wolmar Rantzow, the owner of the Gut Kühren.
This mill was shut down in 1928. The medium-sized water wheel was removed in 1978 and replaced by a dummy.
The one-story building in the living area and two-story in the mill section as a half-timbered building with thatched roof and half-timbered gable is used privately today.
The dismantling of the mill wheel and the changes to the mill house are very regrettable, as this mill represented the state of medieval manors like no other.

Former Kühren Train Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kiel – Lübeck railway line was opened in 1866 and touches the Kuehren district in the east. A stop for passenger trains was opened on December 24, 1893, and a loading track for freight trains was added shortly thereafter. The goods service ended around 1960, the last passenger train stopped on May 31, 1980. For operational reasons (occasional train crossings) the lonely station in the forest remained until November 15, 1985. The old station building is now used privately. The Bahnhofsweg is still reminiscent of the former train station.
