Gohliser Windmühle, Smock mill in Dresden, Germany.

The Gohliser Windmühle is a tower smock mill (Turmholländer) in Dresden-Gohlis, built from 1828 to 1832 by the estate owner Hefter. It is a listed monument: a wooden, polygonal tower body topped by a rotating cap that turns the sails into the wind. It stands on Windmühlenweg and served as a grain mill until 1914.

The Gohliser Windmühle was built between 1828 and 1832 by the estate owner Hefter as a tower smock mill. It operated as a grain mill until 1914, then served as a youth hostel, holiday camp, museum and restaurant. After several reconstructions in 1925, 1953 and 1966, it fell into decay until restoration from 2006 to 2007.

The mill is named after Gohlis, the Dresden district where it stands. Since 1914 it has no longer ground grain; it served as a youth hostel, holiday camp and museum before becoming a restaurant. Today guests eat in the Mühlenstube and the adjoining beer garden.

The location sits along a popular cycling route by the Elbe and is easy to reach when exploring the area by bike or on foot. A café and beer garden make a visit comfortable, especially when the weather is nice.

The mill's cap could be turned into the wind by hand, a feature of the Turmholländer type. Grain milling stopped in 1914, after which the building served as a youth hostel, holiday camp, museum and restaurant before restorations in 1925, 1953, 1966 and again in 2006–2007.
