[EN] The Windmill at King's Bastion, Kastellet at Copenhagen Harbour in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The windmill is from 1847 and was used until 1908 for producing flour for the fort on Kastellet.

October 28th is Kastellet's 'birthday' and every year sails are fitted on the wings of the mill so the public can see the mill working.

Møllen er fra 1847 og blev brugt indtil 1908 til at male mel til befæstningen på Kastellet.

Møllen har 'fødslesdag' den 28. oktober, og hvert år sættes sejl på møllevingerne, så publikum kan se møllen i funktion.
