The Prussian King Friedrich II had the mill built in 1748. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and well-known of the 40 or so windmills and watermills on the Westphalian Mill Road. After a thorough renovation, it has been operational again since 1994. In the summer, the blades turn once a month when the mill group invites you to a meal and baking day. There's a lot going on on the baking days, including delicious food, music and sometimes a vintage car meet-up. The mill is also just a nice photo motif.

The Königsmühle Eilhausen is one of the "stone windmills" and is the oldest in the Minde-Lübbecke mill district and has sails and a compass rose. 1724 the lower part of the mill was built from rubble stones, later at the turn of the 18th/19th. The upper part, made of bricks, followed in the late 19th century. This turned the "Erdholländer" into a "Gallery Dutchman".

Further information about the mill itself and events related to the mill can be obtained from the Minden-Lübbecke mill association (muehlenverein-minden-luebbecke.de).

Koenigsmühle Eilhausen

The restored Eilhauser windmill belongs to the type of "Dutch windmill" (adopted from Holland) that was widespread in northern Germany in the 18th century. With this type of mill, the hood rotates and not the whole mill as with the post mill.

It is part of the mill route and Westphalian mill road.
