Op de Vrouweheide, Gristmill on Vrouweheide, Netherlands
The brick tower windmill stands at an elevation of 216 meters above sea level, equipped with operational sails and a traditional smock design.
Built in 1858 as a gristmill, the structure operated until 1925, after which its internal machinery was removed in 1950 during a period of decline.
The mill received status as a Rijksmonument in January 1967, recognizing its importance in Dutch architectural and industrial heritage.
The structure now functions as a private residence, with the exterior maintained in its original condition following restorations in 1989.
Standing at the highest elevation among all windmills in the Netherlands, the structure offers extensive views across the Limburg landscape.
