Möllan is an ancient windmill on the outskirts of Skanör, situated at the beginning of the road to the harbour of Skanör. The origins of Möllan can be traced back to the 12th century AD. At this time, Skanör was Northern Europe's largest trading harbour for herring. At the annual herring market, up to 70,000 people gathered in Skanör to buy and sell herring. Möllan was built on order of the Danish king to simplify the grounding of herring bones. Ground herring bones, known as "Sillamjöl", was a common ingredient in the medicine of the time and also a popular aphrodisiac.
