The restoration of an ancient windmill delivered to Pyrohiv from the Kherson region is at its final stages: a new video

03 may 2024,

The ancient windmill from the Kherson region, which was delivered to the Pyrohiv National Museum of Folk Architecture and Folkways of Ukraine from the village of Oleksandrivka in the front line, is being restored. The windmill is more than 100 years old. It is estimated that it was built at the end of the 19th – at the beginning of the 20th century.

In 1973, the mill was delivered to Kyiv, where they planned to restore it. However, there have been no restoration activities since then. This resulted in significant damage to the limestone walls, roof, and doors. The vanes were not preserved. In 2023, the MHP-Gromadi Charitable Foundation supported the windmill restoration. The Foundation team decided not only to film the process but also to set it to music.

As a result, the ASMR video featuring the windmill restoration sounds was created. Detailed information is available at the link in the Obozrevatel publication.
