Other attractions in Neubukow
Dutch Windmill in Neubukow
● Neubukow
The gallery-style Dutch windmill in Neubukow has a long history. The gallery-style Dutch windmill, with its octagonal base, was built in 1910 with an automatic wind vane and traditional wooden sails. The mill body and the cap were set on a typical eight-sided brick base. In 1937, the sails were converted to so-called “Bilau-style wind vanes,” steel mill sails developed by the flight officer Bilau. The mill is the only one of its kind in the new federal states to have such preserved sails, which also boast the greatest span of 27 meters for this type. Both the windmill mechanism and the grinding mechanism are still operational. The mill sails were restored in 1981. The mill is privately owned.
