Ballycopeland Windmill

Project Overview

Marcon were appointed to deliver the internal and external interpretive fit out at the World’s last surviving roller reefer windmill.

The new exhibition is spread throughout the entire complex including the new visitor centre, the existing miller’s cottage and Kiln’s house, the Windmill itself, and an activity barn.

Communities Minister Carál Ní Chuilín said:

“Ballycopeland Windmill is very important in many ways. It is the only roller-reefing windmill left in the world. It is one of only a small number of windmills still in working order on the island – despite the fact that there used to be dozens in east County Down – and even rarer as it still retains its original machinery inside, along with its ancillary buildings.”
