which was also called Portenmühle, is in contrast to the other mills on the Hammer Bach still there and in very good condition. It stands in line with the mills that were already mentioned in 1246. In 1408 the "Mölen ter Portzen" became the "Mühle am Bongart". Bongert or Bungert are old names for an orchard. From 1600 the place name became the family name Müller Bongartz. That was when "Jan auff dem Bungart aka Mueller's" bought the farm and mill. The property had previously belonged to the von Tüschenbroichs.

The Bongartzmühle is located at the Hammer Bach. Built in 1246 as a water-powered grain mill. The mill is partly surrounded by a pond. Most of the courtyard is made of brick. The half-timbered outbuildings are under monument protection. Inside is the stand work and a still completely preserved grinder.
