De Zwaan, Tower mill in Lienden, Netherlands.

The brick tower mill rises above the landscape with four storeys and features a cap covered in roofing felt, positioned on cast iron rollers.

De Zwaan mill emerged in 1644 as a replacement for a collapsed post mill, becoming an essential grinding facility for local grain production.

The Van Harn family maintains ownership of this Rijksmonument since 1879, preserving traditional Dutch milling techniques through generations of millers.

Visitors can explore the operational mill on Saturdays between 10:00 and 16:00 hours or schedule appointments through the pet shop located within.

The mill structure demonstrates the architectural evolution between cylindrical and conical tower designs, with four common sails spanning 26.8 meters.
