The post mill (also column mill, box mill or German windmill) is the oldest type of windmill in Europe. The main feature of this type of mill is that the entire mill house stands on a single thick post (the “house tree”), which is fastened vertically in a wooden support frame (the eponymous “trestle”) below the actual mill. On the trestle, the entire mill machinery can be turned into the wind using the leverage of the outer beam. However, this method is not optimal and very cumbersome when the wind directions change.
