The Ennu windmill, or more precisely the windmill of the Jaagu farm in the village of Ennu, is a traditional windmill of Saaremaa. The Ennu windmill was built in 1924 and renovated in 2013. The windmill is a public building used as a bird watching tower. The gable windmill of the Jaagu farm is a larger type of gable windmill in Saaremaa, located on a limestone foundation. It is a simple mill, meaning that the mill can grind coarser flour since there is no coal in it. The shape of the body of the Ennu windmill is also unusual: it tapers by 15 centimeters on each floor. There are not many historical examples of windmills with a confuser body. The construction of the Jaagu farm portal windmill also used a large number of parts from the old portal windmill - flour box, mother shaft, windlass, crossbar, complete set of swing doors, stone mill, filling hopper, sack door converted from the entrance door of the old windmill, etc. These old parts date back to around the mid-19th century, which means that the parts and mechanisms from the old windmill were used when the mill was built in 1924.
