Jordhamn's scrub mill

Jordhamn's scrub mill

The weather-driven scrubbing mill in Jordhamn was originally built in 1905 but renovated on several occasions. The scrubbing mill was used to grind limestone with the help of wind power.

Many scouring mills have been located along the northwest coast of Öland. This is probably the only one that remains today. It is a wind-powered scouring mill unlike the oldest ones that were driven by oxen. Next to the restored scouring mill there are remains of old quarries and older cattle-driven scouring walks.
