Old Grain Mill Heerewaarde

Just off the dike you will find this old flour mill.

In 1934, the mill of miller H. Kosters was dismantled after a fire. The miller leased the mill from the Maatschappij tot Nut van 't Algemeen in Zaltbommel.
This mill stood on a summer dike along the Waal, the Molendijk, about 500 meters north-west of the village.
Originally there was a post mill on this site, which according to a plaque in the existing remnant of the octagon was replaced in 1801 by a new mill.
The first stone for this mill was laid by Jan Ambrosius, together with his sister. Jan Ambrosius was born in 1788 or 1782 in Veen in Brabant as the son of Willem Ambrosius and Adriane Blankers. Both surnames of Jan's parents still live on in the Veense windmills.
