Tejn Mølle

Tejn Mølle stands on a single central post near the Melstedgaard Agricultural Museum, allowing the entire structure to rotate according to wind direction.

Originally constructed in Årsballe around 1800, the mill underwent relocation to Tejn in 1850 and later moved to its current position in Melsted during 2006.

The mill represents the period when Bornholm earned recognition as the mill island, with over 240 wind and water mills operating across the territory.

Located at coordinates 55.20215, 14.97659, the mill produces feed for farm animals and welcomes visitors as part of the agricultural museum complex.

The sails of this post mill rotate in an anticlockwise direction, differing from traditional post mill mechanisms found throughout Denmark.
