What did people use before electric lights? You might be surprised to learn that here at Waldemarsuddes oljekvarn, they used to make linseed oil. This oil wasn’t for cooking. It was a key ingredient in oil lamps and paints. This Waldemarsuddes oljekvarn is a rare sight. It was built in 1784 and is one of only five such windmills left in the entire world. This type of windmill is called a “Dutch mill.” Unlike others where the whole structure rotates, here only the roof turns to catch the wind. Imagine the ingenuity of those early engineers. Waldemarsuddes oljekvarn stands as a testament to a time when wind powered industry. It’s a fascinating glimpse into Stockholm’s past and the ingenuity of its people.
