Bräcke Windmill
The current windmill has been on the hill since 1980. The previous mill burned down in 1946 (built in the 1850s).
The skyline with a windmill was lost after the fire. After a while a committee was formed for the preservation of local history to find a replacement mill.
In 1978 Helsingborg city council offered the Stattena mill to the committee. After detailed planning th mill was moved during 1979-1980, by sea and land. After several years of non-profit work to restore the mill, it was inaugurated in 1984. Nowadays the mill is used for grinding flour several times a year.
You may visit all floors in the mill at open mill days and you can also admire the view over the strait between Sweden and Denmark.
Smock windmills were introduced by the Dutch in the 17th century. The lower half of the smock windmill was made of stone, while the upper half was made of wood.
