Windmills – Seskivti village, Novoselita rayon 1920s
Traditional production equipment in the rural area of Eastern Bucovina. Examples of folk architecture where the craftsmen showed their skills, harmoniously combining architectural shapes with the use of natural forces. Endowed with six wings, the multi-floored windmills, with extended space on the second floor is specific for Bucovina. The main body of this windmill together with its wings was spinning around its own axis – a massive pillar deeply buried under ground. At the first level it was the store house, at the second level – the flour grinding mechanism. This is the type of mill the peasants from Bucovina used to grind their cereals for centuries. Some of them worked until the 1960th.
