International Wind- and Watermill Museum

The International Wind and Watermill Museum contains 16 full-size mills from 12 countries across a 16-hectare outdoor exhibition space.

The museum began in 1980 when collector Horst Wrobel transformed his private collection from Suhlendorf into a public institution with district support.

The exhibition includes mills from different regions, including a Mykonos windmill from Greece, a Provençal model from France, and an Algarve structure from Portugal.

The museum operates daily from March 15 to October 31, between 10:00 and 18:00, with an indoor hall displaying 50 miniature mill models.

A Russian Orthodox stave church dedicated to Saint Nicholas stands on the grounds, adding religious architecture to the technical exhibits.
