The
motto of Løve Mølle :
Understand
the new, respect the old
Løve
Millers’ Guild was founded in 1961.
This
happened when miller Ole Pedersen passed on the ownership of the
mill to the community with the condition that the mill be protected
and preserved. Since then, the different boards of the guild have
done their best to continue the work that begun way back when…
The
Guild :
The
board holds 7 members who are elected on the annual General Assembly
in March/April.
The
election is for 5 years. As a general rule, one of the millers
connected to the mill is a member of the board.
The
General Assembly is public; everyone who is interested can attend and
vote.
Board
meetings are being held during the year when needed, where the
running of the mill and other matters are discussed.

No
mill without a miller!
The
guild had the immense luck to come across Henning Hansen from Ruds
Vedby who during the years 1934-38 was an apprentice as a miller at
the Svinninge Mill in Nr. Asmindrup.
Since
1994, Henning had been in charge of teaching new millers apprentices.
At first, they were only two, later on the number grew and now there
are 8 millers who can work the mill and show the guests around and
tell about the technical parts of the mill.
Henning
died in 2004.
Friends
of the mill
In
addition to the guild’s board we are lucky to have many friends of
the mill who volunteer and lend a hand with different activities at
the mill :
-
Guides
who, during the year and especially during summers’ season, take
shifts ......to sell tickets etc.
-
People
who help to take care of and clean the area around and inside the
mill.
-
People
who serve coffee and cake to the mill’s guests
-
The
Tourist Department who supervise the guests’ bookings
-
People
who organize the Christmas markets
… just to mention a few.
Without them, we could not go on!
It gives us all a nice feeling of a solid community and friendship
beneath our beautiful landmark : LØVE MØLLE!
