Facts and practical information

Baunhøj mill, a Dutch windmill, was built in 1849 on Grenaa's best viewpoint, 37 metres above sea level. The mill was built by district physician C.A. Arendrup, who had to sell the mill again at a forced auction in 1856. The mill's wings are 21 metres long and from the wing tip to the ground is 30 metres. The mill has a height of 24 metres.

The mill burnt down completely in 2002, ignited by a spark from a weed burner, and after a debate in the town it was agreed to rebuild the mill.
