From the 73-meter-high hill, you have a wonderful view of Lake Brassø and the forest area around Silkeborg. The hill has had its current name since 1852, when King Frederik VII and his wife Louise visited the city of Silkeborg and the hill with the wonderful view. The two of them seem to have liked it up here, after all, the hill has borne the countess's name ever since.

A childhood dream Since 2004, Ry Nymølle has been privately owned. The owner, Benny Sølvsten, who was born and raised in Ry, fell in love with the mill as a child when he drove to the mill in a horse-drawn carriage to get feed for his chickens. After taking over in 2004, Benny Sølvsten had the mill extensively renovated, both externally and internally. In 2008, he moved into the main building, where he still lives.

Until 1929, Ry Nymølle was powered by wind energy. In 1929, a 36 hp Nias engine was installed in the mill, which could power both the mill and the sawmill. Ry Nymølle was operated as a mill until 1977, after which the mill was renovated and used as an architect's office until 2004.
