The Kerssenbohm windmill was built in 1849 and was in operation for 100 years - although from 1872 it was powered by steam and from 1913 by electricity. The mill technology dates from 1900 and is very well preserved.

In 2019 the mill was considered no longer restorable. The German Foundation for Monument Protection ensured its preservation.

Cycling

The Lower Rhine Castles & Palaces Route runs for approximately 50 kilometers through the Lower Rhine plain. It connects the towns of Kevelaer, Weeze, Goch, and Geldern. True to its name, you'll pass numerous castles along the way. The first part of the cycle tour follows an idyllic path along the Niers River. Since a river doesn't flow in a circle, the second half of the circular tour mainly cycles through meadows and fields. But that's precisely what makes the Lower Rhine Castles & Palaces Route so diverse: netreisetagebuch.de/burgen-und-schloesser-route
