The International Windmill and Watermill Museum is located at Gifhorn in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany. This museum covers an area of 40 acres, which has 16 windmills from 12 different countries. The founder and owner of this windmill museum is Horst Wrobel, who discovered an old post mill in the year 1965 during an outing at Abbenrode; afterwards he made a replica of this mill at a scale of 1:25 and then gathered all kinds of material about windmills and watermills. In the year 1974 he formed a private museum in Suhlendorf with the first models of mills that he built.
This windmill museum opened for common people in the year 1980following two years of research in engineering by Aller-Ohre-Verband. With the help of bulldozers and flushing dredgers, numerous ditches and ponds were created.


Windmills are generally used to harness power of wind to perform mechanical work as well as generation of electricity. Huge numbers of windmills are installed on a single site called as wind farms to produce large scale electric power from wind.
