De Wielewaal, Stone tower windmill in Beneden-Leeuwen, Netherlands
The Wielewaal mill reaches 25.50 meters in sail span and features a stage platform elevated 9.70 meters above ground level for operations.
Built in 1857, this stone tower mill served the local community by grinding grains using traditional Dutch milling techniques through multiple restorations.
The mill contains two pairs of millstones powered by wind, demonstrating traditional Dutch grain processing methods still maintained by volunteer millers.
Visitors can access the mill on Sunday afternoons or schedule appointments to observe the mechanical operations and grain grinding process.
The mill combines traditional wind power with modern auxiliary systems, including diesel and electric motors to ensure continuous operation.
