Built in 1709, it's the oldest mill in the Emsland region. And not only that: it's also the only still-functioning post mill in the area. You can turn it on its foundation to the perfect angle to the wind direction, and you can regularly see it in action. You can also visit the inside by prior arrangement.

The post-windmill on the Wiek is the only one of six windmills that once shaped the city area of Papenburg that is still completely intact.

The mill is characterized by two special features: It is the oldest mill in the Emsland region and the only one of this type that is turned into the wind with its complete mill body on a pedestal - the trestle.
