Lamdrup is a tiny hamlet just east of Svindinge on Funen, mentioned in local trail descriptions as the turn‑around point on a short walking loop from Svindinge Church via the meadows along Sorte Å. Historically it’s a small settlement in Gislev Sogn (with a place‑name recorded as early as 1407) and today is essentially a cluster of farms and houses in open countryside between Svindinge and Gislev.

The mill (Egescov Mølle) was built in 1855 on the site of a previous building. The mill became famous throughout Denmark because the draftsman Ib Andersen used the Egescov Mølle as a motif for the current 10-kroner note.
