Ejegod Mill

Ejegod Mill is a distinctive and historic Dutch windmill in the town of Nykøbing Falster, located on Møllebakken in the northern part of the town on the island of Falster in southern Denmark. The windmill was built in 1816 and is an octagonal structure that has formed part of the local landscape and cultural heritage for more than 200 years. Originally standing in open countryside, the mill has gradually become part of the expanding town and today stands as a visible reminder of the area’s past.

The mill is protected as a listed monument together with its adjoining barn and miller’s house. All three buildings are preserved in excellent condition and together form a unique historical ensemble. No other windmill in Denmark still retains all of its original auxiliary buildings, making Ejegod Mill a rare and valuable example of Danish milling history and traditional architecture.

Ejegod Mill remained in operation until the mid-1950s and has since undergone several restorations to ensure the preservation of both the mill and its associated buildings. Ownership has been public since the 1930s, today under Guldborgsund Municipality, helping to safeguard the site as an important cultural landmark.

Although Ejegod Mill is not open to visitors, it can be enjoyed from the outside and serves as an atmospheric historical landmark for visitors with an interest in heritage, architecture and Denmark’s industrial past.
