"Lady Devorgilla" the wedding windmill from Dumfries.
The town of Gifhorn, site of the Windmill museum is twinned with Dumfries in Scotland. The above mill is a copy of one that stands in Dumfries, and is a celebration of the partnership between the two towns. A registrar's office is based in the mill, and it is used as a place for weddings.

Inside the Korean watermill.
The overshot waterwheel drives a shaft, from which two spokes protrude, and raise each hammer, which then drop onto the grain, in the pit. The hammers eventually beat the grain to a fine powdery flour.
