De Valk

De Valk spans multiple levels featuring displays of traditional milling equipment, including six millstones that demonstrate the grain processing methods of the Netherlands.

Built in 1743 as the third mill on this site, De Valk replaced an earlier wooden post mill from 1667 and the original structure from 1611.

The mill's sails communicate local events through specific positions, maintaining a traditional Dutch practice of using windmills as communication tools.

While the museum offers educational exhibits about milling technology across several floors, visitors should note that the building does not provide wheelchair access.

The structure contains two separate living quarters, originally designed for the mill owners, which later served as residences for the miller and assistant.
