Benther Mill

The Benther Mill in Ronnenberg is a striking historic structure in the Benthe district and is one of the few surviving windmills in the Calenberger Land region. The four-story Dutch-style cap windmill was built in 1855 and continues to dominate the landscape on Benther Berg to this day.

For many decades, the mill served as a grain mill for the surrounding villages. Farmers continued to have their grain milled here until the mid-20th century, when operations were finally shut down.

Today, the Benther Mill has been converted into a residence and can therefore only be viewed from the outside. Nevertheless, it remains an important testament to the region's economic and technological history.

Thanks to its location near Benther Berg, the mill is also a popular landmark and a stop along walking and biking trails through the surrounding area. The combination of historic architecture and its setting in the countryside makes the Benther Mill an interesting destination in the Hanover vacation region.
