Het Fortuyn, Municipal monument windmill in Arnhem, Netherlands

Het Fortuyn stands as a tower mill within the Netherlands Open Air Museum, operating as a functional grain processing facility with six floors.

Originally constructed in Delft during 1696, the mill was relocated to the Netherlands Open Air Museum in Arnhem in 1920, replacing its predecessor from 1551.

The mill represents traditional Dutch milling techniques, with its architectural structure featuring a thatched cap positioned 10 meters above ground level.

The mill contains four pairs of millstones for grain processing and maintains Common sails extending 26.5 meters, demonstrating historical industrial engineering.

Between 2011 and 2012, the mill underwent substantial repairs to its stage, cap, and sails, ensuring its continued operation for future generations.
