A few hundred meters from the center of Pulderbos we find the mill at Molenheide 67. Construction work started in March 1840. The stone windmill first turned in 1843. Today it is protected along with its surroundings. The mill turns and grinds on Sunday afternoons. The mill is even open to the public between 1 and 6 pm (in winter until 5 pm). Feel free to take a look inside. You can see the miller at work, learn a lot in the exhibition 'from grain to flour' and buy a delicious mill bread on the side.
You can also visit the mechanical mill, the Molenhuis, the Karkot Museum and the Bijenhal on the site.

The mill can also be viewed in a group by appointment. Make your appointment via the Zandhoven Tourism Office.

The mill site of Pulderbos is a fascinating stop. Every Sunday afternoon between 1 and 6 pm (in winter until 5 pm) this stone windmill turns and grinds. The mill is then even accessible to the public. Nearby is the 'Karkot' museum, with old miller's equipment and antique farm equipment. The old field barn is now a beehive, where the beekeeper is happy to explain.

Nowadays they are actually only monuments of a long tradition of craftsmanship: The heavy millstones were moved solely with the power of the wind as driving energy and, for example, grain grains were ground into flour (grain mills) or oil was pressed from olive fruits (oil mills). Sometimes, though rarely, the windmills also had the function of a pumping station and transported water to a higher level.
