Sandvik Windmill was built in 1856 on the outskirts of Vimmerby and came to Öland only after the factory owner Gustav Hammarstedt on Öland Mechanical Industrial Stone bought in 1885 and had to move it to its current location. It was both dilapidated and in poor condition, among others were missing wings completely. A two-storey high concrete base was then erected on site at the mill was placed. Winged originally with fabric, but these are now replace with damper made of wood.
The eight-storey mill is a so-called Dutch and is the largest in northern Europe, this also makes it to the world’s largest and windmills. The mill over the years has had several different owners. It was purchased in 1955 by Åkerbo hembygdsförening and went through with its agency of an extensive renovation. 1964 he leased it out to become a restaurant and it works today. But already by 1958, the café has been conducted in the mill. The upper floors have been preserved as a museum.
References:Considered to be one of the most imposing Roman ruins, Diocletian’s palace is certainly the main attraction of the city of Split. The ruins of palace, built between the late 3rd and the early 4th centuries A.D., can be found throughout the city. Today the remains of the palace are part of the historic core of Split, which in 1979 was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
While it is referred to as a 'palace' because of its intended use as the retirement residence of Diocletian, the term can be misleading as the structure is massive and more resembles a large fortress: about half of it was for Diocletian's personal use, and the rest housed the military garrison.
Architecture
The palace has a form of an irregular rectangle with numerous towers on the western, northern, and eastern facades.
