De Noord, Stellingmill and restaurant in Schiedam, Netherlands

De Noord stands 33.3 meters tall with a wing span of 26.6 meters, making it the highest traditional windmill on Earth.

The current stone structure replaced a wooden post mill from 1400, transforming into a gristmill to support Schiedam's gin production in 1803.

The windmill carries the status of Rijksmonument, reflecting its role in the Netherlands' industrial heritage and grain milling traditions.

Visitors can experience Dutch culinary offerings in the restaurant located inside this functioning windmill while observing the city from an elevated position.

During World War II, the remaining structure of De Noord served as a German observation post before its complete restoration in the 1960s.
