Oostendorper Watermolen, Haaksbergen, Double watermill at Buursebeek, Netherlands

The Oostendorper Watermolen features three undershot wheels, with two dedicated to grain milling and one for oil pressing operations.

Dating from 1548, the mill received official permission for reconstruction in 1633 when Willem Ripperda established it at its current location.

The mill demonstrates traditional Dutch milling techniques, regularly processing grain and pressing oil using water power from the Buursebeek stream.

Visitors can explore the mill on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons between 2 PM and 5 PM, with guided tours explaining the milling processes.

Between the two mill buildings stands a wooden eel trap that allowed small eels to escape while retaining larger ones.
