The “La Unión” windmill was originally known as “El Viejo”, but after the fire it suffered at the end of the 19th century, its name was changed to La Unión, due to the numerous economic contributions from the neighbors. of Camuñas that facilitated its reconstruction. The machinery was acquired in Campo de Criptana, from an old mill that was already in disuse at that time, so, although the machinery that we can admire today is not the original, its very antiquity can be seen in the details of its manufacture. . During the reconstruction it underwent some changes, giving the building more spaciousness inside, and although the same interior diameter was maintained, the reed roof was replaced with a zinc one.
