    Tips

    June 8, 2019

    The two-story Gallery Dutchman went into operation in 1852. Because of the location risks in the middle of the lowlands with wind from all sides, the construction was built on solid construction. The two-storey, octagonal base was given broad-based brick walls, for the trunk used strong healthy wood. The wing cross was turned into the wind with a codend. The mill had two grinders. Wind drove the millstones until 1930. The wind drive was first supplemented by a steam engine, later by an electric motor. After the Mühlenkreuz had become damaged, only with the electric motor was cut, until this was no longer profitable. A comprehensive renovation restored the oak gallery, the hull and head covering with thatch and the arched windows in the base. The wing mechanism has been completely replaced.

      Located quite close to the road, but you can always stop for a bit.
