Does anyone know wether that windmill is a "real historic windmill" or is it a merely ethnographic shell that is supposed to be a copy of something that might have looked similar... ? I can hardly imagine the sails being operable at all - although, maybe strong arctic winds might have forced local craftsmen to develop sails that generate as few energy as possible not to damage the machinery?
