De Verrekijker, Tower windmill in Bergharen, Netherlands
De Verrekijker stands three stories tall and features four Common sails that span over 25 meters across the Dutch countryside of Gelderland.
The current structure, built in 1904, replaced a previous post mill that was destroyed by lightning in 1903 on a site dating back to 1313.
The mill represents traditional Dutch engineering with its cast iron windshaft, brake wheel system, and characteristic dakleer-covered cap design.
The structure has been transformed from its original milling purpose into a holiday cottage, offering visitors a chance to stay inside a protected monument.
The name De Verrekijker translates to The Spyglass, reflecting the mill's position as an observation point across the flat Netherlands landscape.
