    1 mark. Windmill in Harrstrom (Korsnäs)*

    Additional:

    *Korsnäs is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Ostrobothnia region. On the highest point of Harrstrom lies Kvarnbacken (the Mill Hill) with its two old wind-mills. The big mill built in the 1840s stands in its original place and is one of the biggest of its kind in the country. The smaller mill was built late in the 19th century. Both mills are still in usable condition and on summer feasts you can experience the wooden windmills working, even from inside.
