Hönsinge Mølle

Hönsinge Mølle er en stub­mølle, der er konstru­eret helt i træ. Den er fra peri­oden 1600–1800. Møllen skulle som helhed drejes ind i vinden, mens de senere hollandske møller havde en drej­elig hat, hvor vingerne var fast­gjort. Den konstruk­tion tillod også større grund­faste møllehuse.

Hönsinge Mill

Hönsinge Mølle is a stump mill that is constructed enti­rely of wood. It is from the period 1600–1800. The mill as a whole had to be turned into the wind, while the later Dutch mills had a revol­ving hat where the blades were atta­ched. That construction also allowed for larger perma­nent millhouses.
