history
Østerklit Stokmølle ( German Stockmühle ) is Denmark's last functioning wood mill and is located in the Tversted Klitplantage , not far from Tannisbugten . The name “ stick mill” comes from the mill wings that are attached to a wooden structure called a stick . The steel movement transmits the force generated by the rotation of the blades to the grinder or other machinery. The term roof mill is common in Germany.
