Aalstermolen, Stone gristmill in Waalre-dorp, Netherlands.

The Aalstermolen stands as a round stone tower mill, reaching upward from its position on an artificial hill with sails spanning 25 meters across.

Following a destructive fire in 1936, the mill underwent reconstruction using materials from a neighboring mill in Roermond, incorporating new technological elements.

The mill represents the agricultural traditions of Noord-Brabant, where local farmers previously traveled long distances on sandy roads to process their grain.

Located at Raadhuisstraat 28A, the mill ceased operations in 2001 due to deteriorating conditions and currently remains closed to public access.

This structure became the first mill in the Netherlands to implement the Van Bussel streamlining wing system during its 1936 reconstruction.
