    De Reus is a flour mill in Gennep in the Dutch province of Limburg.

    The mill was built in 1846 and 1847 after a mill burned down elsewhere in the city of Gennep. The mill then burned itself, but was immediately rebuilt. The mill continued to operate under wind power until 1951, after which it was restored several times. The mill is now in regular use on a voluntary basis.

    The rods of the mill are more than 27 meters long and are equipped with the old Dutch fencing with sails. The mill is furnished with one pair of grinding stones.

    The mill has large dimensions and is therefore called "the Giant": the attic has a diameter of 5 meters.

    The mill can be found near the Ottersumseweg 16 in Gennep.

        The name De Reus is not a lie. Big mill!
