Welcome to the Historical Mill in Sanssouci Park

The historic mill uniquely combines the experience of a productive windmill with a themed permanent exhibition on mill history. Four exhibition levels offer a wide range of information on selected key topics.

The platform not only provides a view of the sail cloth-covered wings, but also of the cultural landscape of the palaces and gardens.
