Tot Voordeel en Genoegen

Tot Voordeel en Genoegen stands with its massive wooden structure reaching 25 meters in wingspan, rotating on its central post to catch optimal winds.

Constructed in 1798, this windmill served the local farming community until 1978 when ownership transferred from the Van Dreumel family to the municipality.

The name Tot Voordeel en Genoegen, meaning Profit and Pleasure, reflects the dual purpose of the mill in both economic productivity and community gathering.

Three independent sets of millstones operate simultaneously within the structure, processing different types of grain through both natural and artificial stones.

The mill contains predominantly wooden gears and locally made flax ropes, minimizing the use of expensive iron materials during its construction period.
