Peldemühle

The Peldemühle exhibits traditional gallery windmill construction with multiple floors dedicated to grain processing and flour production mechanisms.

Built in 1741 under authorization from Prince Carl Edzard of Ostfriesland, the windmill initially served as a facility for processing barley groats.

The windmill stands as a testament to agricultural traditions, with regular demonstrations of grain milling and bread baking throughout the year.

Individual visitors can access the windmill without charge during regular hours, while group tours cost 3 euros per person with advance reservations.

The structure holds the title of oldest operational gallery windmill in Germany, maintaining its original mechanical systems from the 18th century.
