Oljekvarnen, Djurgården, Historic windmill in Djurgården, Sweden.
The Oljekvarnen stands as a five-story copper-clad structure with a rotating cap designed to harness wind power for milling operations.
Built in 1784 by Johan Diderick Lundholm, this Dutch-style mill produced linseed oil and created feed cakes for army horses until the 1830s.
Prince Eugen prevented the demolition of this mill in 1899 and frequently depicted it in his paintings, preserving its legacy through art.
Located near Prins Eugens väg in Djurgården, the mill remains accessible to visitors interested in exploring Swedish industrial heritage.
The structure represents one of only five remaining windmills of this type worldwide, featuring original inscriptions from its builder inside the entrance.
