Windmühle Eisbergen, Historic windmill in Eisbergen, Germany
Windmühle Eisbergen is a Dutch-style ground windmill with distinctive Jalousie flaps and a weather vane located in Porta Westfalica-Eisbergen. The site includes a miller's house with guest lodging, wheelchair-accessible pathways, and specialized restroom facilities.
The mill was built in 1855 and relocated to its current location between 1988 and 1992. A complete restoration followed to maintain its working capabilities.
The mill serves as a gathering place where visitors can watch grain being ground using traditional methods and join in seasonal festivals. It gives people a chance to experience how milling was once a central part of daily life.
The site can be visited year-round, with seasonal festivals offering chances to see traditional milling in action. The grounds are well-marked and easy to navigate, with plenty of rest areas to take a break.
The mill operates with two milling systems: traditional wind-powered millstones alongside modern motor-driven mechanisms for continuous grain processing. This hybrid approach shows how historic buildings can adapt to modern needs.
