Not only Holland have windmills. In Poland nowdays there are few or none working windmills but in the past, there were many.

First info about windmills in Poland has been dated on the second half of the XIII century. This is permission to build a windmill by monks from monastery in Biały Stok issued by prince Wiesław from Rugia.

Lot of windmills were destroyed during wars (especially during the second world war). Some of them burnt in fires, becouse they were mainly build of wood.

Now the few which have left are dying on the fields. Sometimes there are carried to the museums. Some of them even are restored to its original look and private investors build in them restaurants or hotel, but this happens very rare.
