Lille Mølle
350 years on Christianshavns Vold
Lille Mølle was built in 1669 as a stump mill. In 1783 it was converted into a Dutch windmill, and together with the mill at the Citadel, it remains one of only two battery mills still standing in Copenhagen.
In 1916 the mill and its surrounding buildings were purchased by a young engineer named Ejnar Flach-Bundegaard, who turned the site into both a factory and a private home. From that point on, Lille Mølle became something harder to define - a place where work and life, art and celebration, people and animals all found room.
Over the decades, countless gatherings have taken place within these walls. Dinner parties, cultural evenings, quiet stays and loud celebrations. Many interesting people have passed through, and some have stayed for a long time.
The apartment and banquet hall have recently been renovated and refurnished - with pieces and artworks chosen carefully, one room at a time. The intention was never to erase the history, but to let it breathe a little more easily.
