Molen van Aerden
Molen van Aerden, Smock mill in Nispen, Netherlands
Description
The Molen van Aerden is a mill with a round stone structure sitting on an artificial hill in Nispen, featuring sails that span a considerable width. The building has a tar-covered cap and was designed to grind grain.
History
The building was constructed in 1850 by Johannes van de Wijgert and initially operated using wind power. Over time, steam, petroleum, and electrical systems were added to modernize production.

The mill represents traditional Dutch grain processing methods and shows how local residents valued such buildings as important landmarks in their community. The location embodies craftsmanship and knowledge passed down through generations.
Practical
The building is accessible during opening times and by appointment with the current caretakers. Visitors should check beforehand, as access is not always available.

The building features the Van Riet system on both wings, which allows automatic adjustments to wind direction changes. This technical innovation was remarkable for its time and shows early engineering thinking.
