Fuglevad

Fuglevad is a neighbourhood and locality on the Mølleåen river in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Fuglevad Watermill, located approximately one kilometer downstream from Lyndby Nordre Mølle, has a history that dates back to the 15th century but the current buildings are from the 1870s.

Fuglevad Windmill, a smock mill from 1832, is now located inside the grounds of the Frilandsmuseet open-air museu which opened at the site in 1901.

Due to problem with too little water in the river, he constructed he windmill on a hill to the west of the watermill in 1832.

Gudmann and his partner G. F. Hamann tore down the old watermill and replaced it with the current building in 1874 which was used for manufacturing artificial leather.

Over the next decades it was used for changing industrial activities including as a galvanisation plant[2] until it was sold to Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality in 1828.

Fuglevad Windmill is the only building on display in the Frilandsmuseet open-air museum which stands in its original location.
