History of this complex is connected with Kumiela river (germ. Hommel) flowing nearby. In time of the Teutonic Order it used to take advantage of its resources so water mills were being built by its banks. One of them, situated on the edge of Bażantarnia forests (ger. Vogelsang), surrounded by shrubbery and thicket was called Strauchmühle, what means "bushy mill".
From privileges given the city 9 years after foundation of Elblag we can conclude that bushy mill, belonged to Teutonic Knights had been just operating. In 1457, after the city had paid homage to the King of Poland Kazimierz Jagiellończyk, all neighbouring water mills were donated to the city.
Historic facts says that in the 8-th of February 1806 the bushy mill was taken out a lease for 6233 talars and 30 grosz by Gottfried August Abbeg - a secret commercial counsellor and prussian consul in Sankt Petersburg - a figur of merit for former Elblag.
Originally the water mill consisted of one building made of oak (present restaurant) with river canal by the south wall and mill's wheel. In XIX century the south part with "miller's house" were made of brick (present hotel) and the mill's wheel was changed for water turbine. Finally in 1908 the last annexe was errected ending present complex of water mill. It confirms a date made of sandstone on a wall. In 1816 just after Abbeg died, water mill found in possesion of Friedrich David and Julius Lickfett - owners of "Handlung D. Lickfett & Co." It is worth stressing that Friedrich David Lickfett was vice consul of Holland in Elblag. The bushy mill had belonged to them till 1881 and then it appeared the surname of Jochem family till 1945. The complex of water mill survived warfare in good condition and after the war it was taken over by Polish authorities. It was still being used as a cereal mill and a silo till the mid of the sixties.
In the end of the eighties the mill deserted and in 1991 it was listed to polish register of monuments. In 1994 the mill was completely destroyed as a result of fire. In 1996 it was purchased by PROZAMECH company that started to reconstruct it and adapt to hotel with restaurant. All works lasted 7 years and finally in October 2003 3-stars MŁYN HOTEL was given for guest's use.
