The new Jewish neighborhood of Mishkenot Sha'ananim was built three years after the windmill was built in 1857. This first development of the city outside its wall was possible by the efforts of British Jewish banker and philanthropist Moses Montefiore. Designed as the first windmill in Jerusalem it has never milled flour. People of Jerusalem didn't accept this present since they were afraid to settle outside the city walls. The windmill serves as a small museum dedicated to the philanthropy of Montefiore the English Lord of Jewish origin. Windmill was restored in 2012 with a new dome and vanes. The mill can turn in the wind.

Jerusalem is a mystery - an unusual view of the city. This special tour is dedicated to self-development course students. This route is designed to leverage the city as a concept into different perceptions, divide the perceptions to different senses, structures, patterns of behavior, and show the city as a Materia between the urban and the natural, social diversity, and architectural landscape. This route is only the experience used as a base in the meeting of students within the framework of self-development course studies.
