Vetrenjača (windmill)
Section
Čurug, Vojvodina
This drawing records a windmill that remained in operation in Čurug into the 1970s, and was relocated to its present site in 1912. The conical walls are of unfired brick, and wall thickness reduced with each successive floor. The internal parts, including the wings, were brought from Hungary in 1846, on the Tisza River. These internal parts are of wood, the shaft, gears, and transfer mechanism. The four wings are of fir, formed as ladders. Depending on the wind force, the mill could operate one, two, or three stones. (drawing by author 2015 from base drawings by preservation institute)
