Emden mills

The Emden mills feature traditional German design elements with wooden structures and large rotating blades positioned to capture coastal winds effectively.

During the 17th century, these windmills played an essential role in agricultural production and water management along the Ems river delta.

The mills represent the technical achievements of northern German engineering, demonstrating early mechanical solutions for grain processing and water control.

Visitors can access the windmills through guided tours, with parking available 300 meters from the site in the free parking zones.

The mills maintain their original mechanical systems, allowing demonstrations of traditional milling techniques during specific days throughout the year.
