Danish Windmill · A shop with a story

Troll testimony

Lots of History and Small Town Charm

“A beautiful, authentic working Danish windmill. I learned not every windmill is the same. Lots of history to learn. Very cool to tour the inside and learn about how it was transported from Denmark. You can tour the inside the windmill and walk up a few floors even walk outside on the catwalk around the windmill. The grounds are well kept and feature a neat Viking house replica. A tiny church. A wooden troll and gnome home. A great gift shop full of Danish imports. I liked that the gift shop had a variety of pamphlets of other interesting things to do around the area.”

Mange Tak

“I love the hospitality of hygge you feel upon entering the Danish Windmill! A friendly staff, a thorough tour of the inner-workings of the windmill itself, and a shopping experience that has both traditional and modern Danish offerings — the Windmill appeals to all ages, and will have you saying, “Mange tak!” ”
