De Noord

De Noord operates as a traditional windmill with multiple floors dedicated to grain processing, featuring massive wooden gears and stone grinding mechanisms throughout the structure.

The mill functioned as an essential grain processing facility in Rotterdam during the early 1900s, serving local farmers and contributing to regional food production.

The structure represents traditional Dutch milling techniques, demonstrating the engineering methods developed by millers to process grains efficiently using wind power.

Visitors can access the mill by public transport from Rotterdam Central Station, with regular operating hours from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00.

The mill contains original mechanical components from the 1900s, including wooden cog wheels and grain chutes that demonstrate historical milling processes.
