The countries along the Baltic Sea possess several types of windmills. Post mills comparable to those of Denmark are found in the south-western part of Sweden. Further north-east postmills with a much smaller body are found with sails turning clockwise. These postmills occur also in Finland at the islands of Åland, at the mainland up north to Oulo and in Estonia. Also in the appearance of smock mills a difference is found between the type of south-western Sweden and other areas around the Baltic sea. Some smock mills exist with the deviating number of 10 or 12 sides. The smock mills in Lithuania and Latvia with a converted boat cap resemble those of Poland. A few tower mills are found at Gotland (Sweden) and in Latvia and Lithuania. The links in the table below point to webpages with an image and geographic location.

Further documentation is difficult to find. A very comprehensive overview of mills in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is published bij some members of TIMS based on a trip held in 2009. Based on this overview, it can be assumed that virtually all of these mills were corn grinding mills. Additions to the list are still welcome. Any comment can be send to the addresses on the Contact page, or an open discussion on the blog windmillevolution can be started.
