't Nupke, Stone windmill in Geldrop, Netherlands
Description
't Nupke is a stone windmill with a cylindrical body and white plaster finish, standing on an artificial rise in Geldrop. The structure was equipped with machinery for grinding grain using wind and later electrical power.
History
The mill was built in 1843 by miller Anthonij Sevens and operated continuously for over a century. Its operation ended in 1967 following the death of the last miller.
Culture
The name derives from local dialect referring to the small rise where the mill was built. Today, visitors can see how such structures reflected the practical needs and language of rural communities.
Practical
The mill is located at the west end of Molenakker street and easy to find in the town. Its position on a rise allows visitors to view the structure clearly from surrounding streets.
