Bundsbæk Mill

Time has pretty much stood still at Bundsbæk Mill, where the hollyhock blooms, the water gently splashes from the watermill and the miller works. In the kitchen the baker is ready to use the newly milled flour and at the forge the blacksmith is hard at work.

A trip to Bundsbæk Mill is a trip back to the good old days – here, there is plenty of time to explore and have fun.

Bundsbæk Mill is a charming old watermill, well-hidden on the heath in West Jutland. Despite of this it has in many ways been a focal point throughout history. Bundsbæk Mill was constructed around the year 1640 and up through the 1700s it was visited by many guests from the surrounding parishes. In the beginning of the 1800s help for the poor was handed out at the mill.

Today, Bundsbæk Mill functions as a museum where you can experience living history. The miller mills flour, and the baker lights the old oven. You can also visit the old forge which is still in use. The mill offers a cosy café where you can buy various refreshments and a small shop that sells ice-cream and souvenirs. 

Bundsbæk nature park
