Assumburg

The Assumburg mill features an octagonal structure with a brick platform, reaching 22 meters high with a gallery positioned at 5 meters above ground level.

Built in 1780 as an oil mill in the Zaan region, the structure moved to its current location in 1897 where it was transformed into a grain processing facility.

The mill bears the name Assumburg, referencing a medieval castle near Heemskerk, and holds national monument status as a protected Rijksmonument structure.

The municipality of Steenbergen maintains this museum facility, which opens every Saturday afternoon from 14:00 to 17:00 and by scheduled appointments.

During the North Sea flood of 1953, the mill endured substantial damage while the miller, his wife, and their three children lost their lives in this catastrophe.
