The Bierde windmill (also called the Wiebke mill after the family that owns it; mill route no. 3) was originally built in 1802 as a Dutch transit route. Since the passage was accidentally too narrow for carts, a driveway was walled up and the ground floor was surrounded by a wall. The mill also has some other structural features that were rather atypical for the construction methods that were common at the time: the consistently straight (not conical), octagonal shape of the mill tower; the predominantly wooden (instead of stone) construction of the mill tower; and its outer cladding with wooden clapboards. Despite these and other "construction errors" the mill is still standing after more than 200 years. It still belongs to Hof Wiebke right next door. After the death of the last employed miller Möhring in 1971, the commercial mill operation ended (motor mill still in operation for personal use until 1990). The Wiebke family then limited themselves to their core business: agriculture.

Wall Dutchman from 1802 (wooden octagon, boarded and shingled) with louvre blades and compass rose. Original furnishings (three grinding courses, two bag boxes, pearl barley course with cleaning, groat grinder), partially functional. A former steam mill from 1908 (brick building behind the windmill), also preserved since 1940 with an electric motor drive (grit mill, roller mill, plansifter). Rooms for guest services, playground.
