Hompesche molen, Historic grain mill in Stevensweert, Netherlands

The Hompesche Molen rises 37 meters high across six floors, including a basement and five milling lofts positioned to capture maximum wind energy.

Count Reinaert Vincent van Hompesch commissioned the construction of this post mill between 1721 and 1722 after purchasing the lordships of Stevensweert.

The mill functions as a gathering place where visitors can watch demonstrations by the miller while learning about traditional grain processing methods.

Visitors can access the mill on Sundays from 10:00 to 17:00, with special miller demonstrations occurring on the second and last Saturday afternoons monthly.

One room within the mill structure was designated as a prison cell, which remains preserved and can be viewed by current visitors.
