The Veense corn mill is still very much alive. The mill is in motion almost every day, and at the bottom of the mill there is a cozy mill shop where the home-made artisanal mill products such as flour, bread and baking mixes are in great demand. ‘Assie draait, issie open’ is the slogan of the miller!

Brief history This round stone tower mill was built in 1838 for Willem and Reinier Ambrosius, as a successor to a 16th century wooden post mill. A map from 1798 shows that it stood on the same spot. The mill was built by master carpenter and millwright T.C. Snels from Waalwijk and mason J. Verkuijl from Veen, for the sum of eight thousand guilders and was equipped with two pairs of millstones. The construction took only thirteen weeks, and the stones for the hull were transported by barge over the Maas. In 1924, the Ambrosius miller family emigrated to South Africa and the mill came into the hands of the Van Ballegooijen family, who continued the business.
