A Dutch limestone mill outside Löttorp that is 14 m high with walls 1.7 m thick at the bottom. The mill was originally a Dutch-type toll mill and was built in the mid-19th century. The mill house is built entirely of bricked limestone and represents a local variant of the so-called Dutch mills, which were mostly built of wood.

The building has three floors and is capped by a rotating clapboard dome. On the ground floor there are a couple of large gates through which you could drive a horse and cart into the mill. Interior and permanent installations are mostly intact. The mill is a monument.

The mill is also called Kopperslagarkvarnen. Loops haven't existed since the 1920s.

Dutch windmill made of stone near Högby, a rare sight on Öland, as most post mills are made of wood. The inn is a great place to stay when it is open.
