The area around the Messlingen windmill is freely accessible at all times. Outside of the regular grinding and baking days (see mill calendar), the mill and the associated buildings can also be viewed from the outside. There are plenty of tables and benches for cyclists looking for a rest.

The Messlinger Mühle has been turning its wings to the wind for over 175 years. This special event could hardly be celebrated in 2013 if the general die-off of the mills in the 1970s had also affected the Messlinger mill. As a "disgrace" to the environment, the mill narrowly escaped demolition in 1975 after grinding operations had ceased. The district of Minden-Lübbecke considered preserving and restoring the mills. The Messlinger mill was also restored and renewed from the ground up. Today, the Messlinger Mühle shines again in its old glory.

The Messlinger mill has been turning its wings in the wind for over 175 years. This special event could hardly be celebrated in 2013 if the general mill dying in the 1970s had also affected the Messlinger mill. As an "eyesore" of the environment, the mill narrowly escaped demolition in 1975 after the grinding business was discontinued. The Minden-Lübbecke district was considering how to preserve and restore the mills. So the Messlinger mill was completely restored and renewed. Today the Messlinger mill shines again in its old splendor and greets its visitors with a friendly

"LUCKY TO".

The Messlinger mill was built in 1843. The gallery dutchman (wooden octagon) stands on a solid brick base, is boarded and shingled. Two wings are with flaps, two are equipped with sails. The double wind rose, which is unique in Germany, promises faster wind alignment. The mill has three grinding courses, a pearl barley and an oil mill with pan mill.
