A literary monument - albeit rather bizarre in the context of the story - is the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES, who commemorates the windmills with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones : His tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the "knight of the sad figure", would like to defeat her in a duel in one episode, believing that he was up against giants with four arms.

De Korenbloem is a corn mill built in 1775 on the Molenstraat in the Gelderse Zoelen (municipality of Buren). It replaced an earlier post mill on the same site. The mill used to belong to the estates of the Lordship of Zoelen. In 1971, the then municipality of Zoelen bought the Korenbloem. In 1975, the mill was restored, during which the foundation of the former post mill was found. This is now marked in the pavement.
