Abstract
Description
Skansen is an open air living history museum on the island of Djurgarden in Stockholm. Examples of buildings have been brought from many parts of Sweden. This wooden windmill is from Öland Island which is just of the south east coast of Sweden. The outside of the windmill is covered with vertical boards and has a ladder to an opening at the back. It sits on a pedestal with four beams or "feet" for balance. It is not connected to ground, so like most of the mills on Öland, it is movable and therefore could be removed by a landowner selling land. In this 2011 image it is unpainted.
