The town of Podersdorf am See is located in Burgenland Seewinkel, an offshoot
of the Hungarian Plain. There is no creek for the operation of water mills.
Therefore, the people in this area always have been dependent on the force of
the wind. For this reason, here as in the whole Hungarian area, windmills were
built. Originally, there were seven windmills in Seewinkel, but the only still
completely intact one is located in Podersdorf. The windmill is about 160 years
old. It is still privately owned by the family Lentsch. During 2001, the
"Podersdorf windmill club" was formed. It is committed to conservation
and renovation of the windmill, and to the organization of the visitor
operations that ensures and organizes activities. Opening times The windmill is
open daily, from the beginning of May until late October. Tours are available
daily during this period around 7:00 p.m.
