In use with wind till 1930 .After that with an till 1938. Dismantled about 1945. Until the late 1980s it was almost detached. The tower has 60 steps. There are parts of the machinery. It is the only mill built with two floors ( aground floor and first floor in the square base). The ground floor was used for storage purposes, whilst the first floor was used as living quarters.
