    This Dutch windmill stands on a hill opposite the monastery. The gallery-style windmill once processed the estate's grain. Disused since 1935, the (restored) mill's blades have been in a cross position since September 26, 1942, after the Rottbøll family, who owned the estate, learned that the Danish police had shot 25-year-old Christian Michael Rottbøll; he was the head of the English special forces in the resistance against the German occupation. The current owner of Børglum is his nephew.

      The mill with the old smithy opposite the monastery allows a fantastic 280 degree view over the coast.
      Even the shifting dunes with the Rubjerg Knude Fyr are clearly visible on the horizon.
