Windmühle Charlotte, Heritage windmill in Nieby, Germany.

The Charlotte windmill stands at the entrance of Geltinger Birk nature reserve, featuring traditional Dutch architectural elements and a wind rose mechanism.

Built in 1826 by Rittmeister von Hobe, the windmill served both as a grain mill and water drainage system, with construction costs reaching 9700 Reichstaler.

The mill received its name in honor of Charlotte von Plessen, a former Duchess of Mecklenburg who died at Gelting Castle in 1822.

The structure now functions as a private holiday residence, allowing visitors to observe its external architecture while exploring the surrounding nature reserve.

The mill incorporated an Archimedes screw mechanism to transport water to higher elevations, later supplemented with an electric motor for continuous operation.
