Lower Saxony's oldest windmill was built in 1594 in Frankenfeld. In 1953 the district of Fallingbostel bought the building and donated it to the city of Rethem for its 600th birthday. There, the mill is still standing in the Londypark, on the Aller.

The park is freely accessible, is with the mill and some outbuildings as well as Skulturen and an adjacent miniature golf course a worthwhile goal.

The Rethem post mill is a listed building in the Lower Saxony town of Rethem (Aller) in the Heidekreis district.

The post mill was built in 1594 in Frankenfeld, a municipality in the Rethem/Aller collective municipality. On the occasion of Rethem's 600th anniversary, it was dismantled in 1955 and rebuilt in Rethem's Londypark not far from the Aller. The windmill is station 93 on the Lower Saxony Mill Route (Lüneburg Heath region).
