During the war, the miller warned the people in hiding in the area against a raid by putting the blades of the mill in mourning position. A plaque on the mill is a reminder of this.

Characteristic windmill that has a different face depending on the season. Moreover, the mill has a special history. A lust for the eye.

The Vechtseen are idyllic and picturesque - and yet so close to the big city of Utrecht.
