I. The windmills of Majorca
Salvator“s legacy
During the restoration, besides the research of still intact windmills, also old notes and drawings
of Ludwig Salvatore are being used. Especially his illustrated books are of great importance. Thanks
to the archduke's detailed layouts and drawings of the 19th century windmills, people nowadays can
recreate the windmills“ traditional form and former function. With the help of these materials, the
restorers gain explicit information on the number and locations of the Majorcan windmills, their form
and function. Even parts of the windmills that are no longer in existence today can be remodelled
according to the drawings.
