Wanzer Post Mill

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.Source and further information:

The old post windmill was restored and revived by an association from the village of Wanzer - this required extensive financing.
Today the mill is even operational and can always be visited on the German Mill Day (Whitsun Monday).
