The Karlstrup Windmill (Danish: Karlstrup Stubmølle) is a post mill in the Sorgenfri neighborhood of Kongens Lyngby in Denmark.[1]
Description
The three-storey post mill sits on a stump that allows the mill to rotate and capture wind. The windmill then power a millstone to produce flour.[2]
History
The Karlstrup Windmill was built in 1662 in Karlstrup, a village southwest of Copenhagen, in the Solrød Municipality and was rebuilt in 1793. The windmill primarily produced flour but was modified in 1798 to also peel barley. The mill had a local monopoly on milling flour within a two-mile radius of the mill until 1849, when the first Danish constitution abolished monopolies.[2][3] In 1921, the windmill was acquired by the Frilandsmuseet and moved to the open-air museum's grounds a year later.[4]
In popular culture
In 2011, the Karlstrup Windmill appeared on the eighth episode of The Amazing Race 19.[5]
