De Bleeke Dood, Historic wooden stellingmill in Zaandijk, Netherlands
The Bleeke Dood mill stands at the intersection of Guisweg and Lagedijk, featuring a wooden structure with rotating sails and an elevated platform.
Constructed in 1656, this mill served as the mandatory grain grinding facility for local bakers until the mid-nineteenth century.
The mill represents traditional Dutch milling heritage, operating continuously for flour production and maintaining its original wooden construction methods.
Visitors can purchase freshly ground flour products every Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the mill's shop.
The name 'Bleeke Dood' contrasted with another local mill called 'Het Leven', creating a symbolic representation of life and death in Zaandijk.
