De Mallumsche Molen, Mallem

The Mallumsche Molen stands on the Berkel River with a water wheel measuring 4.80 meters in diameter and wooden blades spanning 85 centimeters wide.

First documented in 1424, the mill complex originally consisted of two buildings, with the right structure burning down in 1746 and being reconstructed in 1748.

Until 1800, local farmers were required to process their grain at this feudal mill, allowing the regional lord to collect taxes in the form of grain.

The mill opens to visitors every Saturday from 2 PM to 5 PM, offering demonstrations of traditional grain processing techniques using water-powered grinding stones.

This facility remains the sole water-powered pearl barley mill in the Netherlands, utilizing both blue basalt stones and Bentheimer sandstone for different grinding purposes.
