Saint John Nepomucenus was the special protector of those whose good name is in danger of being tarnished by slander or malice.

This mill was the upper one of the two mills on the Thornerbeek that Thorn had. The lower mill was the Stijffkensmolen. It takes its name from the mansion "De Kraek", which was the core of an estate in which the mill was located. There was a watermill on this site as early as the 14th century. The mill was purchased in 1613 by Abbess Anna van der Mark and came to the Chapter of Thorn in 1631. In 1880, the mill house was extensively renovated, with the water wheel and mill sluice being located in the building. The straw roof was also replaced by a tiled roof. Shortly after 1930, an electric motor was installed that could drive the grinding mechanism when there was insufficient water available. In 1959 the company was closed down and the water wheel removed. In 1963, the building was sold to a private individual, who converted the mill into a home and weaving workshop in 1965. Although the house looks picturesque, little of its original function is visible on the outside. On the inside, the authentic beamed ceiling shows that it once served as a mill. Above the entrance door, in a niche, is the statue of John of Nepomuk.
