Gitstappermolen, Historic watermill in Vlodrop, Netherlands
The Gitstapper Mill operates with a wooden water wheel driven by the Rothenbach stream, which forms the border between Germany and Netherlands.
The mill, first documented in 1377, was initially constructed from wood and later replaced with a stone building featuring two waterwheels in 1750.
The mill represents traditional grain processing methods of the Limburg region, demonstrating the essential role of water-powered technology in local agriculture.
Visitors can explore the mill Wednesday through Sunday from 10:30 to 17:00, with guided tours explaining the milling process and machinery functions.
The mill's water wheel sits exactly on Dutch territory while straddling the Rothenbach stream, which serves as the international border with Germany.
