The Casa Mulin where once a mill was in operation. In the fraction of Cuort, a stone arch bridge crosses the Flem. The name Flem comes from the Romance language and is due to the water sources that can power mills.

Description

Therefore, it is not surprising that next to this body of water is the Casa Mulin, where once a mill was in operation. Already in the Frankish goods register of the ninth century (Reichsurbar 831, under "Coenobii Pfevers proprietates" "Molinam I") mills are mentioned as the property of the monastery Pfäfers. In 1380, a list of goods of the Bishop of Chur Johann mentions a tile as the owner of a mill ("Kachlan müli"). In 1508, the Capol brothers finally gave the "pious Hans Alamann" a mill as an inheritance (Capoliana, Chur State Archives).

The Casa da Mulin has a narrow gable or eaves front. It is a simple building made of stone and wood. The rooms on the first floor served as a workshop for this house. Next to Casa Mulin is a building with the inscription "Ao 8-8 M. GM IHS", in which a sawmill was housed. Crossing the Bodenstein bridge, the visitor comes across a miniature representation of Casa Mulin, provided with a wooden mill wheel and other economic and residential buildings of that time.
