Lazdininkai Windmill

The story of the Lazdininkai windmill will captivate even those who think they have heard it all. Before reaching the village of Lazdininkai, it stood in Padvariai, and even earlier – in our capital, Vilnius! The wooden octagonal windmill was brought to Lazdininkai thanks to the initiative of the pharmacist from the town of Darbėnai. The windmill was bought and sold several times until it finally ended up in the hands of a local farmer, who purchased it with money he had earned working in coal mines in America.
