Tour description:

It is a very special experience to visit a fully functional wooden wind turbine. Ringsted Windmill is one of the few wind turbines of its kind in Denmark that still runs all year round. The mill was rebuilt after a fire in 1871 and painted commercially until 1965. Since then, the mill fell into disrepair and was on the verge of being demolished. Bjarne Jensen, one of the city's enterprising men, fortunately chose to pay for the full restoration of the mill, so that today it stands as it would have done in the 1930s.

Morten Sørensen participated in the restoration, and has since worked as a miller at Ringsted Windmill. Morten is always ready with a story about the mill. He likes to talk about the process of grinding flour, about the mechanics of the mill and about other details regarding the operation.
