Castle Mill (Slottsmöllan) in Malmö is a historical windmill located at Mölleplatsen, near the iconic Malmö Castle. Built in 1851, this beautiful Dutch-style mill stands on the former site of the Bastion Stenbock, replacing an earlier 17th-century mill that burned down in 1849. The mill operated using wind power until 1879 when it briefly switched to steam power until 1895 and later returned to wind operation until the 1930s. Regular milling ceased in 1945, and today the site is managed by Malmö museums.
Castle Mill remains a popular tourist attraction due to its picturesque setting near Malmö Castle and the lush Castle Garden (Slottsträdgården), home to a variety of plants and themed sections. The complex also includes a fully furnished miller's house and garden, offering visitors a glimpse into the 19th-century life of a miller's family. The surrounding area, Mölleplatsen, hosts numerous outdoor events and concerts, especially during the summer, further adding to its charm as a historical and cultural hub in Malmö.
