De Adriaan, Industrial windmill at Spaarne River, Haarlem, Netherlands.

De Adriaan stands 12 meters tall on the foundation of an old defensive tower, featuring wooden gears and white painted walls along the riverside.

Built in 1779 by Adriaan de Boois for cement production, the original structure burned down in 1932 and underwent reconstruction, reopening in 2002.

The mill demonstrates traditional Dutch milling techniques through exhibitions on multiple floors, showing the process of grinding grain into flour.

Visitors can join 45-minute guided tours from Monday to Friday between 13:00 and 17:00, and weekends from 10:30 to 17:00.

The building served different industrial purposes throughout its history, from grinding limestone and seashells to processing tobacco and corn.
