Molinum, a Soulful Country House

Molinum, a Soulful Country House Olá! My name is Joana Mendes and I'm the great granddaughter of the first owner of the Windmill. André was his name and he built the Molinum in 1900.

The windmill was built in 1900 and originally had a rye straw ceiling. The windmill sails and clay whelk were connected to an oak mast who was placed in a wood structure that rotated according to the wind. When the wind came up the sails would turn. The wind would pass through the clay whelk and make a sound that was heard in the surrounding neighbourhoods. This was the signal that the windmill was working. At this point people would come to the windmill, put the cereals in donkeys or mules, walk up the hill and grind their cereals. The windmill became a community space, but also a nursery of Almond trees. It was considered to be an industry and there are still records present in the windmill of fees paid.
