De Akkermolen, Post mill in Zundert, Netherlands.
The De Akkermolen features four common sails with a 23-meter span that drive a wheel containing 71 cogs connected to Cullen millstones.
Built in 1605 to replace an earlier structure destroyed by Spanish troops in 1584, the mill operated as a grain processing facility until 1950.
The mill stands as a representation of Dutch agricultural engineering, with inscriptions from 1804 preserved inside the structure by millers and assistants.
Visitors can explore the interior of De Akkermolen every Sunday between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM or arrange group visits through Mrs. H. van Dorst-Hereijgers.
The entire wooden body of this post mill rotates on a central vertical axis to align with wind directions for optimal grain grinding performance.
