Kempen Tönisberg - Kastenbockwindmühle Startrail 01

The windmill (also stand mill, box mill or german windmill) is the oldest milltyp in Europe.

 

The Core feature of this type of mill is that the entire mill house on a

single thick pile (the "buck") is, where it can be rotated by the lever effect from beam in the wind. This method, however, was not optimalm and very difficult. The windmill, it was built in 1802, is an attraction in Tönisberg.
