De Ster and De Lelie at the Kralingse Plas in Rotterdam-Kralingen are the only still working snuff and spice mills. De Ster is originally from 1829 and has been rebuilt twice after fire. The Lily is from 1777 and still in original condition.

The well-preserved windmills are worth a visit.

De Ster is a special windmill. Grain can be ground in the mill itself. But in the workspace below are the cannons, in which tobacco was chopped and processed into snuff. In addition, various spices are ground with side stones. Well worth a visit. I took my miller's exam there last year.
