De Eersteling, Gristmill in Hoofddorp, Netherlands.
The wooden De Eersteling windmill stands at ground level with its sails reaching up toward the sky near the Hoofdweg Westzijde.
Constructed in 1856, this windmill played a central role in processing grain for the local agricultural community of Haarlemmermeer municipality.
The mill represents traditional Dutch engineering methods and maintains its status as a national monument through the Rijksmonument designation.
Visitors can explore the internal mechanisms of the working mill, including the grinding stones and gear systems that process grain into flour.
De Eersteling belongs to a specific category of Dutch windmills called grondzeiler, built directly on the ground for easy sail operation.
