This type of windmill mill was conceived in the Middle Ages and then built for hundreds of years.
Great design. This mill grinds grain for around 250 years in the Gooise Huizen. The grain is
lifted upwards and poured into the attic between the grinding stones. The flour then flows
between those grinding stones in large bags that are ready at the bottom. The entire mechanism
is protected against the elements in the wooden case. Caution is of course always required at a mill,
because mills are dangerous. But this specimen has experienced a lot of disaster in its long history.
From mutilations and fatal accidents to storm damage, war violence and fire. The mill is one of
the first buildings in the Open Air Museum. Placed here in 1916
