Kulla Gunnarstorp mill explained

The Kulla Gunnarstorp mill is a Scanian historical landmark[1] north of Helsingborg, Sweden, in the suburb of Hittarp. It is a smock mill with a boat-shaped cap, which is unique in Scania.

History

The count or the countess at Kulla Gunnarstorp Castle[2] hired the miller, and let him and his family live at the mill farm. The last miller was Nils Persson, who closed the mill in 1950 after working there since 1922, but he was allowed to live there with his family until his death in 1972.[3] [4]
