KENMARE, N.D. (AP) - Kenmare police say a fire that damaged a landmark Danish windmill in the community’s downtown was deliberately set.

The blaze in the town square happened shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday. Firefighters were able to save the structure but it was still damaged.

KMOT-TV reports that authorities have ruled it a case of arson and are asking anyone with information to come forward.

An immigrant farmer built the windmill in 1902 north of Kenmare, and it was used for 16 years. It was moved into the city in 1959 and restored.
