Detailed description
Picture "Wehe windmill" (2022)
The present Weher Bockwindmühle was the bishop's mill until before 1650, and then owned by the Rahden church as the state king's mill until 1732. The mill was then sold to changing owners. The last miller family was the Wiegmann family. In 1953 the mill was shut down. After the shutdown of the miller's business in 1953, the mill was threatened with final decay. The Weher Heimatverein (local history society) took on the mill in 1979 and the Mühlenkreisverein Minden-Lübbecke lovingly restored it in 1983. Oil on MDF
