Penninga's Molen, Stellingmill in Joure, Netherlands

The three-story wooden Penninga's Molen rises above the landscape with its 23.54-meter sails and traditional thatched cap structure on Molenweg street.

Built in 1692 in Westzaan as a paper mill, the structure moved to Joure in 1900 where miller Auke Sietzes Penninga established it as a replacement for De Westenberg.

The mill represents Dutch engineering through its functional design as both a gristmill and a training facility for the Guild of Frisian Millers.

Visitors can explore the interior of this Rijksmonument monument every Saturday morning between 9:00 and 12:00 or schedule appointments for different times.

The mill celebrated its Zaan origins in 2000 by being decorated in the Zaanse style, marking 100 years since its reconstruction in Joure.
