Geocache Description:

Hørning Mølle

Hørning Mølle/Navermøllen

Hørning Mølle [i.e. Stødov Mølle] er en gammel vindmølle fra 1905. Møllen har tilhørt mange møllere igennem tiden. Den sidste ejer var Gunnar Christensen fra 1950 og frem til 1975, hvor Arbejdernes Andelsboligforening A.A.B. og Hørning Kommune endelig overtog møllen, som den står den dag i dag.

Historien om Møllen i Hørning lyder således: En sommerdag i 1974 blev der opdaget ild i Hørning Gamle Mølle. Ilden havde på dette tidspunkt så godt fat i det gamle træværk, at møllen ikke stod til at redde. Møllen var netop beregnet som logo for ’A.A.B. Mølleparken’ og Hørning Kommune.

Efter branden blev der nedsat et mølleudvalg til at finde en ny mølle til erstatning for den nedbrændte mølle. Udvalget fandt en passende mølle på Helgenæs - "Stødov Mølle". Historien om Stødov mølle er, at der i Stødov på Mols først stod en stubmølle fra 1828, som var bygget af en møllersvend, der slet ikke var uddannet møllebygger, men han byggede møllen fordi bønderne fra Helgenæs, dengang skulle sejle til Samsø for at få malet deres korn. Møllerens søn overtog Stødov Mølle i 1863, men erstattede stubmøllen med en hollandsk mølle, som nedbrændte i 1903. Derefter byggedes den nuværende mølle. Dengang med flotte jalousivinger og vindrose. Siden blev der også installeret en hjælpemotor på 20 hk.

Denne mølle passede næsten til de tegninger og mål, der blev foretaget af den nedbrændte mølle. Den "nye" mølle var ½ m bredere i bunden og ca. 2 m lavere end den gamle. Bortset fra dette, var træværket indvendig i meget fin stand. Stødov Mølle blev købt - revet ned - transporteret til Hørning - og genopført på brandtomten. Det er lykkedes at bevaret en del inventar. Hele genopbygningen skulle være færdig 1. november 1975. Samlet pris 443.000 kr.

Møllen står midt i et beboelsesområde og må være en af landets mest ugæstfrie møller. Den er omgivet af et mandshøjt 'Ishøj-hegn', der gør det umuligt at nærme sig møllen. Desuden er den omringet af træer og buske, der ikke gør det nemmere at studere møllen. Siden indvielsen 1. november 1975 har der ikke været Åben Mølle, før Hørning Naverne og Egnsarkivet i 1994 fik ideen og tilladelsen til at holde Åben Mølle for byens borgere og andre interesserede. Det var næsten på 19. årsdagen for indvielsen af Hørning Mølle, og det blev et tilløbsstykke. På de to dage var der ca. 700 personer på besøg i Møllen. Siden har der hvert år været en Åben Mølle-dag for offentligheden.

Hørning Mill/The Naver Mill

Hørning Mill (i.e. Stødov Mill) is an old windmill from 1905. The mill has belonged to many millers through the years. The last owner was Gunnar Christensen from 1950 to 1975 when Arbejdernes Andelsboligforening (A.A.B.) (i.e. the Cooperative Housing Association of the Workers) and the municipality of Hørning eventually took over the mill as it remains today.

The story of the mill in Hørning goes like this: One summer’s day in 1974, a fire was discovered in the old Hørning Mill. At this time, the fire had taken so good hold in the old woodwork that the mill was impossible to save. The mill was expected to be the brand for ‘A.A.B. Mølleparken’ and the municipality of Hørning.

After the fire, a committee was set up to find a new mill in replacement of the burned down Hørning Mill. The committee found a suitable mill on Helgenæs – ‘Stødov Mill’. The story of Stødov Mill goes that in Stødov on the island of Mols, there was a stub mill from 1828 which was built by a journeyman miller who was not a skilled millwright. But he built the mill because at that time, the peasants from Helgenæs had to sail all the way to Samsø in order to grind their corn. The son of the miller took over Stødov Mill in 1863, but he replaced the stub mill with a Dutch mill which burned down in 1903. After that, the remaining mill was built with beautiful louvre blades and compass rose. Later, a servomotor of 20 HP was installed.

This mill almost matched the drawings and measurements of the burned down mill. The “new” mill was 50 centimetres wider in the mill end and approximately two centimetres lower than the old mill. Except from this, the woodwork was in very fine condition. Stødov Mill was bought, torn down, transported to Hørning and rebuild on the site of the fire. They managed to preserve part of the stock. The reconstruction was supposed to finish by 1 November 1975. Total costs of 443.000 Danish kroner.

The mill is located in the middle of a residential area and must be one of the countries’ most inhospitable mills. It is surrounded by a high fence which makes it impossible to approach the mill. In addition, it is surrounded by trees and bushes which do not make it easier to examine the mill. Since the dedication on 1 November 1975, there had not been an open mill event until Hørning Naverne and the district archives in 1994 got the idea and permission to open the mill for the town citizens and other interested. It was roughly on the 19th anniversary for the dedication of Hørning Mill and it became a major draw. In the two days, approximately 700 persons visited the mill. Since then, every year there has been an open mill day for the general public.
