Nooit gedagt

Windmill 'Nooit Gedagt' rebuilt in 1995. Retreating German troops blew up the former mill on april 21 1945 because they were afraid the allied forces would use the mill as observation post. The mill is standing on the rampart of the small town of Woudrichem. The church tower belongs to the Sint-Martinus church en is built about 1530. In 1717 a storm destroyed the peak of the tower. Since then, the tower is blunt and is called the Mustard Pot
