A post mill in Drewnica

In 1718, in the northwestern part of the village of Drewnica, a windmill was built, which was a windmill used for grinding grain. It was constructed by the Mennonites, Dutch settlers who had been arriving and farming in the Żuławy region since the 16th century. Out of approximately 100 windmills for grinding that survived until 1945, today only two remain - the wooden post mill in Drewnica and a 19th-century brick and wooden Dutch-style windmill in Palczew.

This is a typical post mill, set on a brick foundation and entirely made of wood. Its walls are constructed in a timber frame structure and vertically clad with boards. The entire structure has the shape of a rectangular prism and is covered with a shingled roof that resembles an inverted boat. On the roof, there is an overhang under which a small gallery is placed, accessible via high stairs leading to the entrance door.

Currently, the windmill in Drewnica no longer serves its original function, but it stands as an important testament to the "windmill" history of the Żuławy Wiślane region and is a popular tourist attraction.
