Windmill or watermill · 1893
Koni tuulik
At the eastern edge of Puhja stands a wooden Dutch-type windmill built in 1893 by Jaan Koni, who had to hand his farm in Järveküla over to his wife's 25-year-old son from her first marriage and needed a new living. The builder was Peter Morgen. The octagonal tower, boarded and shingled, has a boat-shaped cap; the sails are long gone, but the stone posts that anchored its tail pole still ring the mill. It ground grain, mostly animal feed, on electric power until the late 1980s, and much of the old machinery is still inside. It was conserved in 2005.

Puhja aleviku idaservas seisab puidust Hollandi tüüpi tuulik, mille ehitas 1893. aastal Jaan Koni, kes pidi oma Järvakülas asunud Kiho talu andma üle naise esimesest abielust pärit 25-aastasele pojale ja vajas uut elatist. Ehitusmeister oli Peter Morgen. Kaheksakandiline laudise ja laastukatusega torn kannab paadikujulist pead; tiivad on ammu kadunud, kuid veski ümber seisavad endiselt kivipostid, mille külge sabapuu kinnitati. Kuni 1980. aastate lõpuni jahvatati siin elektriajamil peamiselt loomajahu ning suur osa vanast sisseseadest on alles. 2005. aastal tuulik konserveeriti.
