Waardenburg Windmill

The Waardenburg Mill is a hexagonal thatched ground sailor, a millable flour mill along the Waalbandijk river dyke and owned by the municipality of Neerijnen. The current miller, A. Roefs, is a member of the Guild of Volunteer Millers.

Before 1780 there was almost certainly a post mill, also called post mill, on the site of this flour mill. The post mill was blown over, restored, and finally demolished around 1780 and replaced by the current hexagonal mill. In the current mill you can still find parts of the old post mill.
The mill, located on the Waalbandijk, was drained and leased by the van Aken family for more than 200 years. During the First World War (1914-1918) the mill was used to generate electricity by miller A. van Ielen.
In the past, the mill, together with the Kasteel Waardenburg, the T-farm 't Molenhuis and other associated buildings, belonged to the estate of the estate of Waardenburg, which was owned by the Van Aylva family in the 18th century. The goods became the property of the Van Pallandts by inheritance in the 19th century, and in 1964 Jonkvrouwe J.E. Baroness van Pallandt van Waardenburg and Neerijnen the mill at the municipality of Waardenburg. Wikipedia
