Summary[edit]
DescriptionMontefiore Windmill Jerusalem - ירושלים, טחנת הרוח במשכנות שאננים (16291667051).jpg |
הטחנה נבנתה בשנת 1858 ביוזמתו של משה מונטיפיורי, מעט לפני הקמתה של משכנות שאננים שהייתה השכונה היהודית הראשונה מחוץ לחומות העיר העתיקה.
במלחמת העצמאות בתחילת שנת 1948 בנו לוחמי ההגנה עמדה יצוקה מבטון על ראש מגדל הטחנה, העמדה חלשה על התנועה בדרך חברון שמעל גיא בן הינום במזרח ועל אזור מלון המלך דוד ותחנת הרכבת במערב.בשל מיקומה האסטרטגי הורה הנציב העליון הבריטי אלן קנינגהם לפוצץ את העמדה, בכך נגרם נזק רב לראש מגדל הטחנה. הטחנה נותרה ללא כיפה בראשה עד מלחמת ששת הימים.
The windmill was funded by the British Jewish banker and philanthropist Moses Montefiore, who devoted his life to promoting industry, education and health in the Land of Israel. Montefiore built the windmill with funding from the estate of an American Jew, Judah Touro, who appointed Montefiore executor of his will.
During the Israeli War of Independence the windmill served as an observation point for Jewish fighters. In an attempt to impede the Israeli defence, the British authorities blew up the top of the windmill. The mill was restored in 2012 as part of the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the founding of Israel. |
