The Hernen belt mill is located on the other side of the highway and therefore feels out of place. The Hernen Mill dates from 1749 and is noticeable from afar. It is a belt corn mill. The "belt" comes from the small hill on which the mill appears to stand. It is, in fact, laid around it like a belt. Around 1969, a TV series about Knight Floris was made. The scenes featuring a mill were filmed at the Hernen mill. In episode 6, "De Vrijbrief" (The Letter of Freedom), soldiers are seen being tied to the sails and the mill is left turning.
The black-and-white (slightly brownish) photo is from 1974. The mill was in a dilapidated state at the time.

If you want to see another location from the TV series Floris, it is nearby, namely Castle Hernen. Well worth a visit!
