Havnbjerg Mølle

Facts and practical information

Havnbjerg Mill is a thatched octagonal earth-standing Dutch windmill built in 1835. The mill curves with wind rose and has self-regulating blades. The windmill is located on a 49-metre-high hilltop - the highest on Nordals - where it neighbours Havnbjerg Church. The site was previously occupied by a stump mill, which worked until a strong storm in 1776 destroyed the blades and shaft. It was initially rebuilt, but was replaced by the present mill in 1835.

The mill has been thoroughly restored with funds from the Mads Clausen Foundation. The mill is operational and runs regularly. The mill is open Wednesdays 9-15 and admission is free.
