History

The first windmills at the site

Documents show that the owner of

Carl XII of Sweden landed on the Øresund coast at Tibberup in August 1700. They established a fortified camp on the hill where remains of their defensive structures can still be seen today. The camp contained up to 15,000 soldiers and continued all the way to Babyloneskoven at Humlebæk.^[3] A new stub mill was built at the site after a few years. It was sold by the owner of Krogerup in 1806. This stub mill was torn down in 1868.^[4]

The currentwindmill

The current smock mill was built at the site in 1869–70 by the timber Niels Andersen from Skotterup for the miller Niels Christiansen. ´He was third generation of millers at the site. The mill was decommissioned in 1916.It was listed in 1950.^[5] The mill was converted into a residence by the artists Grethe and Karl Szabad in 1954. They also used it as studio and for exhibitions. The couple sold the windmill to Helsingør Municipality in 1975 but continued to live there until 1993. In 2006, Helsingør Municipality sold the windmill to a private buyer.
