Sønderho Windmill, Smock mill in Sønderho, Denmark
The eight-sided wooden structure of Sønderho Windmill stands on the outskirts of the village, featuring a rotating cap and large sails for wind capture.
Built in 1895, the windmill operated until 1923 when it fell into disrepair, leading to its purchase by the Village Trust in 1928 for preservation.
The windmill demonstrates traditional Danish milling techniques and represents the agricultural methods that sustained local communities on Fanø Island.
Visitors can explore the interior and exterior of the windmill independently from Easter until the end of week 42, without staff supervision.
Located near the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site, the mill contains original mechanisms for adjusting sail positions according to wind direction.
