Lumby Mill 2021

Here, Lumby Mill is seen from a slightly different perspective across the buildings.

Notice that here you see that the wings and flaps need to be changed.

men... flot står den i solen....

En Hollænder........ hvad er det?

A Dutchman

En Hollænder mølle - som Lumby Mølle er - er en mølle som har en "hat" øverst. På denne hat sidder møllevingerne spændt på.

The special thing about this hat is that it is the only thing that can move on the mill.

The rest of the mill is bricked up and clad in wood.

Så når vinden blæser - ikke for langsomt og ikke for hurtigt, så låser man hatten op. Den drejer nu om i vinden og vingerne begynder, at dreje rundt.

In the old days, people drove to the mill with the grain. If it suddenly became windless, you got comfort snaps.

Trøstesnaps var ofte øl med ret store mængder brændevin. Så det har da været hyggeligt for bonden når det ikke blæste..... 🙂

As a good experience, you can come to Odense N and see our Dutchman and you can climb up and see the hat and how it is locked and unlocked. It's super exciting.
