The Nordhemmern windmill (Greftmühle, mill route no. 17) is easily accessible on low-traffic paths. The area around the mill is also freely accessible outside of the milling and baking days. A rest area invites you to take a break at any time.

Windmill Nordhemmern "Greftmühle"
The conical tower of the Greftmühle, a Wallholländer mill, was built in 1938 from coarse sandstone. As part of the restoration, the mill received wind-capable sails again. The old 9-petalled compass rose, the only one in the district, was also restored.
The mill is located in an extremely windy place. At times there was a boke mill and an oil mill here. Technically, it ended up being run as a motor mill. Since the technology is incomplete, the mill cannot be operated.
It also belongs to the mill route and Westphalian mill road.
