De Arend

De Arend stands as a stone tower mill with a wooden platform, featuring white sails that rotate to harness wind power for grain processing.

Built in 1742, this stellingmill has maintained its original structure and operational mechanisms through centuries of continuous use for grain milling purposes.

The mill represents traditional Dutch engineering practices, demonstrating the importance of wind-powered grain processing in Netherlands agricultural development.

Visitors can access the mill's interior during operating hours to observe the mechanical processes and learn about traditional flour production methods.

The mill combines both gristmill and windmill functions in one structure, with its high platform design allowing optimal wind capture above surrounding buildings.
