Maderup Mølle is a smock mill originally built in Maderup, about 10km (10miles) south-west of Bogense, on the island of Funen in Denmark. It was constructed in 1832 and operated as a grain mill until the mid-1930s.The building was dismantled in 1941 and moved to The Funen Village, an museum in Odense, where it now stands.[1]
The windmill is built to an octagonal design. The upper part is reed-thatched, and the cap is thatched with straw.
