"Windmills have been around for at least 1300 years. In Europe, windmills were developed in the Middle Ages. They were mounted on city walls and could not be turned into the wind. Since fixed mills were not sufficient for regions with changing wind directions, types of mills were developed that could be turned into the wind. With some later developments, mills became versatile for all kinds of industries in windy regions, especially for grinding grain, for sawmills (late 16th century), for threshing and - using Archimedean screws - for pumping mills.
