Lerkaka Windmills
Lerkaka väderkvarnar
The most famous windmill group on Öland, with five traditional post mills lined up in a row. It is the most photographed view on the island.
Öland once had about 2,000 windmills, of which roughly 350 survive. On the ridge east of Lerkaka village, five 18th- and 19th-century post mills stand in a row. It is the island's most concentrated windmill site and the one most often seen on postcards. There is a café and craft shops nearby. Viewing is free. The site is on the east coast road in central Öland and can be visited together with the Himmelsberga Museum.
