Aarhus møllen, post mill in Aarhus, Denmark
Aarhus møllen is a post mill in Aarhus, Denmark. The structure is made of dark wood, with a tapering body and four lattice sails mounted on a central hub.
The mill was built in 1792 and originally stood on the fields of Frøstrup Hovedgård. It was moved to Tuesbøl in 1866 and then rebuilt in Den Gamle By in 1931.
The mill is a well-known landmark in the open-air museum Den Gamle By. It often appears in photographs and is used in educational activities for school groups.
The mill is located in the Botanical Garden, which is open year-round. Visitors can walk around the mill and see it from different angles, but the interior is not accessible.
The mill's sails are 16 meters long and were removed for inspection in 2024. A 1:10 scale model of the mill can be seen in Varde Miniby.
