Attractions

Windmill Nordhemmern "Greftmühle"

Nordhemmern windmill
Historic chapel

The conical tower of the Greftmühle , a Wallholländer mill, was built in 1938 from coarse sandstones. As part of the restoration, the mill received windable sail blades again. The old 9-petalled wind rose, the only one in the district, was also restored.

The mill stands on a very wind-favorable place. At times there was a boke mill and an oil mill here . Technically, it was ultimately driven as a motor mill. Since the technology is incomplete, the mill cannot be operated.

With the mill, Nordhemmern is part of the Westphalian Mühlenstraße and the Mühlenroute .

Historic chapel

The chapel from the 13th century is another attraction. Here, services alternate with the church in Holzhausen (built in 1560) every two weeks .
