Retz Altstadt Windmühle, Historic windmill on Kalvarienberg hill in Retz, Austria.
The stone tower windmill stands tall above the vineyards, featuring four operational wings that rotate to grind grain using wind power.
Built in 1853 by Johannes Tobias Bergmann, this structure replaced a wooden windmill from 1772 and continued operations until its closure in 1924.
The mill demonstrates traditional grain processing methods and represents the industrial heritage of Lower Austria through regular milling demonstrations.
Visitors can access guided tours from April through October, with special bread-making activities scheduled for the last Saturday of each month.
This windmill remains the only fully equipped and functioning grain mill powered by wind energy in Austria, following restoration by Dutch millwrights.
