De Passiebloem, Oil windmill in Zwolle, Netherlands

De Passiebloem stands as a stellingmill on Vondelkade, featuring a raised platform that allows millers to operate the sails and process materials efficiently.

Built in 1776, this oil extraction windmill received national monument status in 1967, marking its importance in Dutch industrial heritage.

The mill represents traditional Dutch engineering, demonstrating the historical method of extracting oil from flaxseed, rapeseed, and walnuts through wind power.

Visitors can explore the mill during guided tours on the first and third Saturday monthly from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and third Wednesday from 1:00 PM.

A dedicated group of 170 members supports the Vereniging Vrienden van de Oliemolen De Passiebloem, ensuring the preservation of this functional oil mill.
