De Wenumse Molen, Watermill in Wenum, Netherlands

The mill features a large water wheel that powers the internal mechanisms through a system of gears and millstones for grain processing.

First documented in 1313, De Wenumse Molen stands as one of the oldest operational watermills in the Netherlands, serving local farmers through centuries.

The mill maintains traditional grain milling methods with volunteer millers demonstrating the techniques that shaped Dutch agricultural development for generations.

Visitors can observe the functioning water-powered sawing frame and explore the mill complex, which includes a granary and former cheese farm.

The mill contains mechanical systems capable of processing grain into flour while simultaneously operating a water-driven frame saw for timber cutting.
