Bisschopsmolen, a historic watermill located on the Jeker River in Maastricht, dates back to the 7th century with its name deriving from its ties to the bishops of Maastricht. This operational mill specializes in grinding spelt and is significant for its contribution to local brewing, particularly for the Gulpener Bierbrouwerij. Visitors can explore the mill's interior, enjoy freshly milled products, and experience a small bakery on-site. The mill is open to the public but check for specific visiting hours. Admission is typically free, though donations are appreciated. The site is accessible for visitors with mobility challenges. A visit to Bisschopsmolen offers a glimpse into the rich industrial heritage of Maastricht.
