Their story begins near Amsterdam. About 400 years ago 'de grauwe Beer' - in German 'the gray bear' - was put into operation there as a sawmill. In 1891 it was sold to Beesel on the Maas, where it was used as a flour mill.

Nice old grain mill, stands quite lonely in the field, directly on the Meuse 👍
