Noordmolen - Water Mill

The Noordmolen is more than 650 years old. In May 1347 Herman van Twicklo bought “Huize Eijsink” and the Noordmills on the Azelose brook from the gentleman farmer (nobleman) Berend van Hulscher. The deed of sale has been preserved in the archive of Twickel Castle. This refers to the North Mills.
In the past there was also a flour mill opposite the current oil mill.
This was demolished in 1831.
The mill has been restored several times, as can still be seen through memorial stones in the quay walls. The mill was repaired in 1917, but standing still, partly due to a lack of water, again led to decline. In the years 1976-1978 the mill building was restored again on behalf of the Twickel Foundation. In 1984 the mill received a new water wheel, which was donated by the Rotaryclub Delden-Borne. Restoration of the interior was completed in 1989.
