    "It has a checkered history, the windmill in the Hansell family. Once it was operated by wind and water at the same time.

    The Hanseller Mill is a historic windmill in the Hansell district of the Altenberge municipality in the Steinfurt district. The building is a listed building and its origins date back over 300 years.
    The windmill was originally built in 1770 by farmer Schulze Dahl as a post mill. In 1854, it was converted into a so-called "eight-sided Dutch windmill," an octagonal Dutch windmill. Even without its wings, the building is worth seeing due to its striking design and is a popular destination in the region.
