"De Buitenmolen is the name of the windmill that befittingly welcomes us in Zevenaar as we begin to pedal.
The route from Zevenaar to Arnhem helps you move quickly, with cyclists traveling at rush hour on the parallel path to the train.”

A mill is mentioned in Zevenaar as early as 1447. However, building history research has shown that the current mill must have been built after 1549. This makes not this tower mill, but De Grafelijke Korenmolen in Zeddam the oldest existing windmill in the Netherlands. The Buitenmolen was the ban mill of Liemers' office. The city of Zevenaar had its own mill, the Binnenmolen. In 1816, both mills became the property of the Dutch Domain Board. The Buitenmolen was sold in 1865 to the miller Jacobus van der Grinten. Originally, the stairs to the attics were located outside the mill and the grinding noise was also outside the stairs. The doors near the stairs are now windows. There was a wooden platform above the entrance. The original appearance of the mill as an indoor porter disappeared over time. The mill was given a tail and the outer rod was equipped with self-yielding. Around 1930, the tail and sail cross were removed and the mill became a motor mill, which was closed down in 1955. The thick walls were cut out for the motor mill and steel floor beams were installed in 1934. In 1966, Mr. F.T.H. Korthaus De Buitenmolen was transferred to the municipality of Zevenaar, which had the mill restored in 1969 and 1970. The cap is covered with shales. In 2002, another restoration took place and the 9.20 meter long wooden upper axle was replaced by a new oak upper axle. The front gate lens was also renewed and the rods were replaced.

The tower mill has steel rods with a length of 24.40 meters. They were made by the Vaags mill in 2002. The inner rod has number 71 and the outer rod number 70. The rods are equipped with the Old Dutch fencing with sails. The mill is equipped with a couple, 16der (140 cm diameter) artificial stones and a mixing boiler.
