De Bonte Hen, Oil mill in Zaanse Schans, Netherlands.
The octagonal mill features a gallery platform and contains traditional equipment for pressing oil from seeds using stones, hammers, and fisters.
Built in 1693, De Bonte Hen operated until 1926, underwent reconstruction in 1935, and received substantial restoration between 1973 and 1978.
The mill demonstrates Dutch industrial methods through its preserved mechanical systems and continues operating weekly through volunteer efforts.
Located at Kalverringdijk 39 in Zaandam, the mill opens Tuesday through Sunday from April to September, with reduced hours during winter months.
The structure maintains original oil cellars beneath the mill, where pressed oils were stored in specific temperature-controlled conditions.
