De Bloem, Historic windmill in Amsterdam, Netherlands

The octagonal smock windmill De Bloem stands tall at Haarlemmerweg 465, featuring a large structure with two connected residential buildings at its base.

Originally constructed as a flour mill, De Bloem represents the Netherlands' industrial heritage and the traditional methods of grain processing through wind power.

The windmill reflects Dutch engineering practices in its construction, demonstrating the longstanding relationship between Dutch society and sustainable wind energy utilization.

Visitors can access De Bloem during National Windmill Day, which takes place annually on the second weekend of May in Amsterdam.

While the mill's mechanisms remain functional and its sails continue to turn, the structure now houses office spaces for a modern business.
