The windmill "De Put" owes its name to its owner, Jan Janszoon Put. His mill originally stood at a different location in the city. After the city expanded to the west, he relocated his mill here on the Galgewater in 1619, hoping for greater yield from the west wind. The post-and-beam flour mill we see today is a replica from 1987. On the other side of the Weddesteeg rampart stood the flour mill of Rembrandt van Rijn's parents. The two mills were connected by a long drawbridge. The mills ran day and night when there was enough wind to grind malt for the city's many breweries. In the mid-17th century, 19 "post-and-beam" flour mills stood on the ramparts surrounding the fortified city. These flour mills ground flour for the residents of Leiden. Note: Rembrandt van Rijn painted and drew many mills throughout his life. As a miller's son, the mills surely fascinated and shaped him even as a toddler.
