Attractions

Eickhorst windmill

Eickhorst windmill

The Wallholländer was built in 1848. The conical mill tower was built from rubble stones. It was plastered on the weather side. The mill tower is surrounded by an earth wall. This wall was also walled up from rubble stones. This mill is also supported by a motor that has been driving the mill since 1909. In addition, the field rods on the wing system (that is, the pair of wings that lie in front of the house rods to the field) were replaced by venetian blind wings, which were easier to operate.

With the mill, Eickhorst is part of the Westphalian Mill Road and the Mill Route .
