Molen van Aerden, Smock mill in Nispen, Netherlands

The Molen van Aerden stands on an artificial hill with sails spanning 23.80 meters, featuring a round stone structure and a tar-covered cap.

Built in 1850 by Johannes van de Wijgert, the mill operated initially on wind power before incorporating steam, petroleum, and electrical power systems through the decades.

The mill represents traditional Dutch grain processing methods and received national monument status in 1971, preserving its industrial heritage for future generations.

Located at Raadhuisstraat 28A in Nispen, North Brabant, the mill remains accessible for visits through scheduled appointments with the current caretakers.

The mill incorporates the Van Riet system on both wings, allowing automatic adjustments to wind direction, making it technically advanced for its time period.
