    There is no mill in the Netherlands that is so close to the sea. The mill from the year 1700 has ground grain until 1957.

      The Oranjemolen (1699) is a corn mill and former hulling mill on the Oranjedijk in Vlissingen. It is a round stone tower mill with a flight of 24.50 meters.

      This mill was already mentioned in 1699, but it is unknown when the mill was built. Of the 23 city mills in Vlissingen, the Oranjemolen is the only one left. It is the closest windmill in the Netherlands to the sea.

      The mill has endured a lot during several wars. In 1809 an iron bullet was shot into the mill, which is still there today. The mill was also heavily damaged during the Second World War. The mill was extensively restored in 2000. The mill is still fully operational.
