Watermill at Kollen

The Watermill at Kollen contains two separate buildings with undershot water wheels, operating as a gristmill and an oil mill on the Kleine Dommel river.

Following its destruction by fire in 1681, the mill was reconstructed and continued its operations, serving the local community through centuries of agricultural development.

Vincent van Gogh created paintings of this mill in 1884 during his walks between Nuenen and Eindhoven, documenting its red roofs and surrounding poplars.

Located at Collseweg 3 in Eindhoven, the watermill opens to visitors every Saturday from 09:30 to 12:30, offering demonstrations of traditional milling techniques.

The mill maintains both its original gristmill and oil mill functions, representing one of the few locations where traditional grain and oil production methods remain active.
