The beautiful mill De Grauwe Beer is located outside the village on the banks of the Meuse. It is completely free and open on Saturday. In front of the mill there is a meadow with picnic tables and there is a parking lot. From Beesel you can reach the mill via an unpaved but leveled Witschaftsweg.

The mill built in Zaandam in 1604 was originally a sawmill. In 1891 she was mined in Zandam and shipped to Beesel. There, the mill was set up as a grain mill. Until the 50s, the mill remained in use until the grinding activity no longer yielded profit. For several years, the mill was not in operation until it was restored in the years 1982-1983 and moved to its present location. Here the mill is back in the wind, which is important for its optimal function. Since then, the mill is back in operation on a voluntary basis.

The Grauwe Beer Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Their story begins near Amsterdam. About 400 years ago 'de grauwe Beer' - in German 'the gray bear' - was put into operation there as a sawmill. In 1891 it was sold to Beesel on the Maas, where it was used as a flour mill.

Maas Riverbank

Highlight • River

Sometimes there is a view of the main stream of the Maas and sometimes there are small arms of the Maas. A play of colors between blue and green, especially when the weather is nice.

Roermond City Centre

Highlight • Viewpoint

Roermond is ideal for a shopping or city stroll. But there are also many beautiful places along the Meuse, some of which are not so crowded.

Roermond Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

On days when there is the weekly market, it might be a bit crowded. Nevertheless, a visit is worthwhile every day and in every season. The old houses around the market square form a beautiful backdrop.
