The post windmill (also upright mill, box mill or German windmill) is the oldest type of windmill in Europe. The core feature of this type of mill is that the entire mill house stands on a single thick pole (the "house tree"), which is fixed vertically in a wooden support frame (the eponymous "buck") located below the actual mill. On the trestle, the entire mill machinery can be turned into the wind using the leverage of the outer beam. However, this method is not optimal and very difficult when the wind direction changes.

Beautiful old and well-preserved post mill that is privately owned.
