Windmühle Varel, Windmill in Varel, Germany
The Varel Windmill stands at 39 meters high with upright sails and features a three-part construction with a stone base, wooden octagon, and cap structure.
Graf Gustav Adolf von Bentinck ordered the construction of this Dutch gallery windmill between 1847 and 1848, which operated continuously until its closure in 1965.
The mill functions as a museum displaying local agricultural tools, fishing equipment, household items, and exhibits about coastal protection in Northern Germany.
