A Dutch-type windmill from the 19th century. It was used for its intended purpose until 1953. Then it was nationalized and no one knew what to do with it. It was used periodically as a warehouse. Today it is in private hands, and a large board says that you are not allowed to approach it or even photograph it (!). In recent years, a wind farm was built next to the old windmill. The new windmills contrast greatly with the beautiful, historic building.

The village is dominated by a brick Dutch windmill from the 19th century. It was built with great financial resources and was the highest technical achievement of its kind at the time when it was built. The solid was given the shape of a truncated cone. Inside, there are three working floors and an attic. The aerodynamically shaped roof rotated against the wind with the help of a small turbine. The drive mechanism consists of four wings embedded in a cast iron head. The last miller before 1945 was Franz Naatz. Currently, the windmill is developed for tourism.
