Discover Norby in Rieseby

In the Norby district of Rieseby, the Mühle Anna local history museum, a preserved parsonage and two routes associated with the area offer different starting points for a trip. The museum combines the listed windmill with a collection focused on the region. When choosing a route, you can weigh a route with a stated distance and type of path against the landscape views along a second route. This lets you explore Norby through its cultural history and trails.

Mühle Anna and the museum collection

Mühle Anna is listed as a cultural monument; its classification is a listed building, and its object number is 3488. The local history museum is housed in the listed windmill and its outbuildings. Its collection has a strong regional focus and includes fossils as well as stone and Stone Age finds. This brings the protected mill building together with a regionally focused collection; the museum’s exhibits are not limited to the building itself. Admission to the local history museum is free. You can therefore choose between two aspects according to your interests: the listed mill as a building and the collection’s regionally focused finds.

Building history with different dates

The mill was originally built in Westerhever and moved to Norby near Rieseby in 1911. The parsonage in the district, which still stands today, was completed in December 1812. The years mark different milestones: 1812 for the completion of the parsonage and 1911 for the relocation of the mill. The history of one building is thus marked by a completion date, while that of the other is shaped by its relocation. This lets you place the preserved parsonage and windmill in their historical context without conflating their different histories.

Routes by path type and landscape

The route from Rieseby to Ornum is about 5.5 kilometres long. It follows a footpath and cycle path along the K 83, passing the Norby district and the Anna windmill. Here, the approximate distance, path type and landmark are all specified. The “Rieseby: Schlei & Village Idyl” route passes through Büstorf and Norby on its way back to Rieseby. Its landscape description includes views of the Lindaunis Bridge, dramatic stretches of steep coastline and beech woods close to the shore. The routes answer different planning questions: for Rieseby–Ornum, the approximate distance and path type take centre stage; for “Schlei & Village Idyl,” the route and landscape views are the focus. If you base your choice on specific features, you can compare a route with a stated distance and named path type with one featuring described landscapes.

German Mill Day

German Mill Day at Mühle Anna traditionally takes place on Whit Monday. On German Mill Day, the studio in the mill house offers samples from its selection of teas, fine foods and liqueurs. The event adds a specific culinary offering to the building and collection themes. If you would like to plan your trip around Mill Day, check the date for the relevant year to make sure your visit coincides with the traditional date.
