Wissinks Möl (1802) is a post mill. This is the oldest type of wooden windmill in the Netherlands, in which the entire wooden mill body rests on a central vertical spindle (the post) and must be turned as a whole to face the wind. Unique to this specific mill is that it has three floors instead of the usual two.
The founder, Jan Hendrik Wissink, wanted his own mill to serve the local farmers. Because neighbors feared that their free-roaming livestock would be struck by the rotating sails, Wissink installed the structure secretly at night. Eventually, he received permission, provided he placed a fence around the mill.
The mill was originally built to grind rye and other grains. Today, the mill is still fully operational, and volunteer millers grind grain there in a traditional manner.
The mill is a national monument.
