The Veenmolen in Wilnis

Highlight • Monument

The mill was moved to its current location in 1822 and operated using wind power until 1947, when an electric motor took over. The owner continued his business elsewhere in an electric mill. The municipality of Wilnis bought the mill, which was restored as a standing monument in 1965. The Utrechtse Molens Foundation purchased the mill in 1971 and in the following two years the mill was restored to working condition. Since then, millers have been grinding grain in the mill on a voluntary basis every week. The rods are almost 24 meters long and equipped with the Old Dutch sail system. The mill has one pair of grinding stones. The mill is open to the public on Saturdays.

Fort bij Uithoorn (Defence Line of Amsterdam)

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort bij Uithoorn, also known as Fort Amstelhoek, is striking because of the two buildings with lifting turret guns that are connected to the fort via a corridor. Original elements such as wooden partitions and a telegraph room have been preserved. Built in 1911, the fort defended strategic points along the Amstel and a railway.

Today the fort is under development but open for tours and meetings by appointment.
