In 1801 Friedrich Kärner, master of Kopli farm in Rupsi near Lake Peipus, had a windmill built of fieldstone, originally four storeys tall. During the Second World War a Soviet tank hit it with a shell, but the thick stone walls held. Under the Soviet collective farm Koit the top two storeys were knocked off and the stump was used as a silage store, and later the Alatskivi state farm kept loose cement in it. The squat stone tower once again belongs to Kopli farm.

Eesti keeles

1801. aastal lasi Peipsi lähedal Rupsi külas Kopli talu peremees Friedrich Kärner ehitada maakividest tuuleveski, millel oli algselt neli korrust. Teise maailmasõja ajal tabas veskit Nõukogude tanki mürsk, kuid paksud kiviseinad pidasid vastu. Kolhoos Koit võttis hoonelt kaks ülemist korrust maha ja kasutas seda silohoidlana, hiljem hoidis Alatskivi sovhoos seal lahtist tsementi. Madal kivitorn kuulub taas Kopli talule.
