The Kijkduin Mill in Schoorl is a grain mill built in 1772. It is a round stone mill built on a small hill. It is fitted with 1 pair of 16 artificial stones and 1 pair of 16 blue stones.
A mill, presumably a post mill, stood on the site of the mill before 1575. At the time of construction, Kijkduin was 5/6 owned by Schoorl and 1/6 by Groet. This lasted until 1868, when the mill had to be sold to a private individual for lack of money. It was ground up until 1935 and then sold to the community who wished to preserve it as a monument. The mill is now owned by the Municipality of Bergen.
The Kijkduin runs regularly and can be visited at this time. Flour products are also sold.
