The Wicher is a spinning head mill on Hoogeweg near Kalenberg in the Dutch province of Overijssel. In 1943, a spinning head mill was demolished on approximately the same spot. In 1980, the initiative arose to rebuild the mill, in cooperation with the Forestry Commission, which currently owns the mill. The mill was completed in 1982. The wooden rods, measuring 12.65 metres in length, feature the Old Dutch fencing with sails. A volunteer miller regularly runs the mill on wind power with the wooden auger. Close to the mill is a tjasker. The property has municipal monument status.
