The Windmill – Copenhagen
Kastelsmøllen – The Historic Windmill of Copenhagen
Kastelsmøllen, the iconic windmill of Kastellet, stands as a symbol of Denmark’s rich history and military heritage. Located within Kastellet, one of Europe’s best-preserved star fortresses, this charming 18th-century windmill adds a touch of old-world charm to Copenhagen’s historic landscape.
Built in 1847 to replace an older structure from 1718, Kastelsmøllen was originally used to grind grain for the Danish military, ensuring food supply for soldiers stationed at Kastellet Fortress. Unlike most traditional Danish windmills, this black wooden post mill is surrounded by fortified ramparts, historic barracks, and lush green grounds, making it a picturesque and peaceful spot for visitors.
Today, Kastellet is open to the public, offering a glimpse into Denmark’s military past while serving as a popular walking and sightseeing destination. A stroll around the fortress walls provides stunning views of Copenhagen’s waterfront, the nearby Little Mermaid statue, and the Øresund Strait.
Our Tiny Planet artwork of Kastelsmøllen captures its historic charm and unique setting in a stunning 360-degree perspective. Whether printed on canvas, puzzles, or other formats, this unique piece transforms Copenhagen’s historic windmill into a mesmerizing circular masterpiece—bringing the beauty of Denmark’s past into your home!
