    Additional:

    *The construction of the mill at Lumby was started in 1818 by one Rasmus Pedersen and the mill belonged to his family until 1911; then it fell into disrepair completely until the Society of Danish Mill Friends purchased it in 1969. In 1988 the municipality of Odense will in all probability take charge of the mill at Lumby and thereafter the private foundation "Lumby Mollegaard" will be allowed to continue the restoration project.

    7.10 crowns. Vejstrup watermill*

    Additional:

    *The water mill at Vejstrup was built in 1837 and, by and large, its two wheels have been turning round ever since. In the mid-60s, the water mill was restored very carefully when a preservation order was issued for the building. Since then the mill has been kept in good repair by "Selskabet Danske Mollers Venner", the Society of Danish Mill Friends.
