Kuremøllen

Kuremøllen is a wooden smock mill located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of Svaneke on the Danish island of Bornholm.

[1] Christian Sommer, the current owner's grandfather, built the windmill in 1861 for himself after having constructed nearby Svanemøllen for a group of Svaneke citizens a few years earlier.

Kuremøllen was not as impressive as Svanemøllen: it was a bit smaller and had a boat-shaped cap rather than an onion top.

When his son Emil took the mill over in 1900, he undertook a number of improvements: first an engine, then he added self-adjusting flaps (1903) and finally opened a bakery (1912).

When the tarpaulin was renewed in 1993, it became clear that the mill had once a shingle cladding for a number of years, probably in the very beginning of the 20th century.
