A childhood dream Since 2004, Ry Nymølle has been privately owned. The owner, Benny Sølvsten, who was born and raised in Ry, fell in love with the mill as a child when he drove to the mill in a horse-drawn carriage to get feed for his chickens. After taking over in 2004, Benny Sølvsten had the mill extensively renovated, both externally and internally. In 2008, he moved into the main building, where he still lives.

Until 1929, Ry Nymølle was powered by wind energy. In 1929, a 36 hp Nias engine was installed in the mill, which could power both the mill and the sawmill. Ry Nymølle was operated as a mill until 1977, after which the mill was renovated and used as an architect's office until 2004.

The beautiful old Dutch gallery mill, Ry Nymølle, is located in the middle of Ry. The mill was built in 1881 as a grain mill when the old Rye Mølle, which stood on the banks of the Gudenå, gave up the grain mill in favor of paper production. Ry Nymølle was built by miller Andersen. In 1904, a sawmill was established in connection with the mill, and there was also a feed store.

Anyone who thinks Denmark is (only) flat will be proven wrong when they see the Himmelberg. On all my tours, the area is one of the most demanding in terms of fitness.

The stairs are relatively steep, but still quite pleasant to walk
