Morgan Lewis Windmill
Standing proudly in the rural parish of St. Andrew, Morgan Lewis Windmill is Barbados' only intact sugar mill, and is the fourth of Barbados.org's Seven Wonders of Barbados. From its perch overlooking the rugged east coast and the rolling Scotland District, the mill offers both history and breathtaking views.
This landmark is one of just two restored sugar mills in the entire Caribbean, the other being at Betty's Hope Estate in Antigua. Its towering sails and stone walls reveal stories of Barbados' sugar heritage, inviting visitors to step back in time.
The windmill is featured on the Barbados $2 bill.
