Watermill at Opwetten, Historical gristmill in Nuenen, Netherlands.
The Watermill at Opwetten features a cross-house structure under tiled gable roofs situated between point gables with weaving patterns and partially plastered walls.
Constructed in 1764, this watermill operated as a grain processing facility, converting local farmers' harvests into flour through water-powered mechanical systems.
The mill represents traditional Dutch engineering methods, demonstrating the relationship between agricultural communities and water management in the Netherlands.
Visitors can reach the watermill by following the cycling paths from central Nuenen, with guided tours explaining the milling mechanisms each Saturday morning.
The machinery inside the mill maintains its original eighteenth-century components, including wooden gears, millstones, and water wheel mechanisms in working condition.
