Elstrup Mølle

When you think about the work involved in building a mill, imagine what it takes to move one.

Elstrup Mill was built near Østerholm in 1859 under the name Nørremølle. It replaced a post mill built by Duke Hans the Younger in 1634.

Moving an entire mill

In 1888, the mill was moved to Elstrup, where it still stands today. Every beam was carefully marked so the mill could be reassembled at its new location.

The mill remained in operation until 1969. Today, you can see its extensive, authentically preserved milling machinery.

A milling museum was established here in 1985, with an extensive collection of milling machinery.

Visit Elstrup Mill

The mill is open during the summer months, and admission is free except on days when special activities are taking place. Guided tours can also be arranged.

Elstrup Mill became a listed building in 1998 and remained privately owned until 2022. Today, the mill is run as an independent institution.

The site forms part of the Paradis Als vision, with an overall development plan and architectural concepts in place for its future development.

The Friends of Elstrup Mill association regularly organises events, including small concerts. Dates and further information are available on Facebook.
