Denmark - Helsingør - Hollandske Mølle - Saturday, April 30, 1960

Elsinore [Helsingør] was our next city of Interest. Here we saw several old, half-timbered houses as well as the harbor which is a tuna fishing base.

From 1875 the Dutchman's Mill was owned by A. H. Qvistgaard. He operated it for a few years until 1913, when he sold it to his son V.B. Qvistgaard and his son-in-law C.J. Kallenbach. They owned the mill until the bread factory closed in 2004, but even then the old windmill had been demolished. This happened in 1968, when the owner of the mill was no longer able to maintain it. When the Helsingør City Council refused to help with maintenance, the last of the many windmills in Helsingør was demolished. (helsingorleksikon.dk)
