Stiftsmühle, Dutch windmill in Sandhorst, Germany.
The Stiftsmühle stands 29.95 meters tall with five stories constructed from 200,000 bricks and features four louvered sails measuring 24 meters in diameter.
Built in 1858 by miller Hermann Knoop, the structure replaced an earlier earth Dutch windmill that operated under Prince Georg Albrecht's concession since 1731.
The mill functions as a specialized museum displaying original equipment, models, and exhibits that demonstrate grain milling techniques across five floors.
Tours operate every Saturday at 4 PM from April through October, with adult admission costing 3.50 euros and children's tickets priced at 1.50 euros.
From the gallery at 17 meters high, visitors observe panoramic views of Aurich and experience the mechanical operations of wooden cogwheels and grinding stones.
