De Zwaluw, Wind-powered sawmill and gristmill in Burdaard, Netherlands.
De Zwaluw stands 36 meters tall as an octagonal stellingmolen with two milling pairs and a separate saw shed adjacent to the main structure.
Built in 1875, the mill ceased operations after a fire in 1972 but underwent complete restoration and resumed its functions in 1987.
The mill maintains traditional Dutch milling practices through its dual function of grain grinding and wood sawing, operated by professional millers and volunteers.
Visitors can tour the facility from Tuesday to Saturday between May and October, with grain sales occurring on Fridays and Saturdays.
The mill incorporates a distinctive design where the sawmill section sits offset from the center, following a configuration similar to paltrok mill structures.
