The Scheunenwindmühle in Saalow (also barn mill) is a windmill in which the drive wind flows directly through the mill building and not, as is common practice, is passed around the mill. The building, which is sometimes classified as a "wooden wind turbine" from the 19th century, was originally built in today's Dresden district of Podemus. It is unique in its kind worldwide.

This barn door mill is a very special industrial monument. The mill is operated by opening the barn doors. The wind wheel turns due to the draft.
