Lyngby Nordre Mølle is one of the two watermills in Kongens Lyngby and is no. 24 on Lyngby Hovedgade. It was built as an extension of Lyngby Søndre Mill, possibly in 1762, modified in 1846 and 1850, and it was a hammer mill and grain mill. It is the only one of Mølleåen's turbines that is ready to run by the power of the water.
