Volmolen

Volmolen is a watermill beside the Dommel River in Riethoven, featuring traditional water wheels and surrounding gardens planted with weeping willows. The building contains event spaces, dining facilities, and the original milling mechanisms.

The watermill has operated at its location on the Dommel for many centuries, serving different functions through the ages. A comprehensive restoration in the 1990s preserved the structure while making it suitable for contemporary use.

The mill preserves its traditional structure and now serves as a gathering place for community events and celebrations. The working water wheels remain central to how people experience this historic location today.

The mill site is easily accessible on foot and offers ample parking for visitors. The interior spaces are climate-controlled and accessible year-round, making it suitable for all seasons.

The mill generates electricity from water power, supplying energy to multiple local homes. This system quietly demonstrates how historical waterworks can be adapted for contemporary energy needs.
