    The mill was built in 1853.

    Today the mill belongs to the nearby Johannes Larsen Museum

      Svanemøllen in Kerteminde sits beautifully on the Møllebakken (mill hill) on the northern outskirts of the city and serves as a landmark and symbol of the city.

      It takes its name from the weather vane, a beautiful swan, that adorns the top of the mill. The mill body is octagonal.

      The lower mill is built of brick and has a passage for wagons.

      The upper mill is built of wood and covered with wood shavings.

      The mill has a stern for sails and manual yawing.

      The Swan Mill in Kerteminde is now part of the Johannes Larsen Museum.

      The mill is functional and operates a few times a year.

      Many of the mill's furnishings have been preserved, including grain, flour, and skew mills.

      In 1984, Kerteminde Museum took over management of the mill and carried out a complete restoration. Since then, the mill has been continuously maintained.
