Description
The last windmill was probably built in the 18th century, as indicated by the dates of 1796 which were engraved in several places. He stopped operating around 1920. In 1973, he was renovated according to the original plans. This mill is a cylindrical stone tower, equipped with typical elements such as two doors, a small fireplace and stair steps integrated into the wall. Upstairs, there are wheels, beams and an original cruise control. The upper mechanism is new, but respects the original, with a lantern and a wheat made of elm and cormium, a turning tree and oak wings. The roof is made of split oak slats.
