Without a sign, you wouldn't notice that you're walking into another country... It's nice how easy this can be these days.

The mill is located in the center of Højer and at the same time in the middle of the Tøndermarsch, the northernmost part of a large, man-made marshland that extends south to Northern Germany and the Netherlands. In the two old grain stores, Lille and Stone Spiker, exhibitions and further information offer insights into the creation of the marsh. Furthermore, you can learn more about the drainage of the land, the dikes, locks, koogs, etc. - and not least about the unique nature and birdlife of the marshland. The mill itself dates back to 1857. Together with the stores, the residential building, and the garden, it forms a well-preserved cultural heritage site that is part of Museum Sønderjylland. Højer Mølle also has a café.
