[1] First built in 1787, in connection with a move in 1794 which brought it closer to the road, the mill was slightly enlarged, making it 30 centimetres (12 in) wider.
[2] In 1934, Foreningen Bornholm acquired the mill and has since taken care of its upkeep.
In 1996, comprehensive restoration work was carried out and completed in 1999, bringing the mill into a fully operational state.
A timber structure with a wooden roof, the mill has four latticed sails.
During the restoration work completed in 1999, much of the original machinery was retained but the sails, base, roofing and external cladding were replaced.
