There has been a windmill on this site since the late 15th century. A mill that had stood about a hundred years before was not then standing in 1496. Until 1795, the mill at Bronkhorst was one where the commoners living in the domain of the Bronckhorst nobility were mandated to take their grain to for milling.[1] The mill immediately preceding the present mill was a post mill which was standing in 1803, when it was sold to Jan Breukink. The mill, and its successor, were to remain in the Breukink family until the late 20th century.[2] The post mill burnt down on 18 May 1844.[1]

Bronkhorstermolen was built to replace it. It worked until the late 1930s. A committee was formed in 1958 to restore the mill, which took place in 1960. The mill was the first in the Netherlands to be fitted with a counter on its windshaft to enable it to receive a grant from the Dutch Government according to the number of times the sails rotated. A dispute followed and the mill again ceased to work. In 1980, the mill was sold to the Gemeente Bronckhorst, following which it was returned to work. Bronkhorstermolen is listed as a Rijksmonument, № 34543.

On Saturdays you can also visit the great mill from the inside 👍 here you can buy freshly ground flour.
The mill is still functional and in great condition, a visit is absolutely worth it 😉
