Sønderho Mill

In 1928, the Gamle Sønderho Foundation acquired the gallery Dutch windmill, which was built in 1895. The mill, which was destined for demolition, has since been restored in stages and was inaugurated in its current form in 2003.

 

The mill's ingenious and simple construction is based on centuries of experience and is an impressive feat of balance.

 

The eight corner posts of the hull are fastened to the masonry of the lower mill. The mill cap with wings, axle, cap wheel, and fantail (“krøjeværk”) rests on 8 steel rollers that run on a rail at the top of the hull.
