The monumental complex Stadbroekermolen is located on the outskirts of Sittard, near the Schwienswei nature reserve. Duke Willem van Gulik gave a permit in 1582 for the construction of this watermill. From 1846 the Roufs family became owners. They traded their wheat and rye flour throughout South Limburg, Belgium and Germany and replaced the water wheel in 1907 with a turbine with a grinding device.
In 1955 Roufs sold the complex to the municipality of Sittard, after which the mill fell into disrepair. In 1990, the unique complex was restored to its former glory, including the hydraulic drives. It is now an attractive location for parties and meetings.
