Bat Galim Windmill

Bat Galim Windmill, 19th century windmill in Bat Galim neighborhood, Haifa, Israel.

Bat Galim Windmill is a tall stone building on Second Aliyah Street 22 in Haifa's Bat Galim neighbourhood, the first structure built in that area. A rotating wooden cap once carried the sails; cap and sails are gone, and the building now holds five floors linked by spiral staircases as a residence.

German Templars built this windmill in 1874 as part of their efforts to modernize agriculture in the region. The structure reflects technological advances introduced during the Ottoman period in Palestine.

The Templers sowed wheat fields, mainly in today's Kiryat Eliezer area, and built two flour mills: one inside the German Colony and this one in Bat Galim. The mill ground wheat for residents of the whole area, including distant settlements such as Zikhron Yaakov. The sculptor Pini Weinberg lived here from 1977 until 2017.

The mill stands at 22 Second Aliyah Street, next to Rambam Hospital and the Israeli Navy training base. It is a private residence, so the building can only be seen from the street; the wooden rotor and sails are gone.

The sculptor Pini Weinberg lived in the disused mill from 1977 until 2017 and renovated it into a five-storey home with spiral staircases. The rotating wooden cap that once carried the sails has disappeared, so the tower now stands without its blades.
