There are over a thousand historic windmills in Estonia, Finland and Sweden. This report is about the three different types of windmills and about the work that was done in the process of repairing the wind shaft and the sails of a smock mill on Gotland.
The project Traditional Wooden and Masonry Structures in the Baltic Sea Region is designed for students of building conservation, conservation of artefacts, structural engineers and site management from three universities in Sweden, Estonia and Finland in order to give them the opportunity to learn about the traditional materials in different parts of buildings. From the conservation point of view they learn how constructions and surfaces made of these materials are to be preserved in the best manner.
Please, help yourself to more reports and views of the hands–on activities at various historic sites at www.sustainableheritage.eu
