De Eenhoorn, Wind powered sawmill in Schalkwijk district, Haarlem, Netherlands.

The black tarred wooden structure of De Eenhoorn rises along the eastern bank of the Spaarne River, equipped with four saw frames for lumber production.

Built before 1776, the name De Eenhoorn first appeared in a 1721 transfer deed, while maps from 1615 mention an earlier Schalkwycker Mole at this location.

The windmill maintains traditional Dutch lumber production methods, operating regularly under the management of Stichting Molens Zuid-Kennemerland since 1986.

Located at Zuid Schalkwijkerweg 6F in Haarlem, the mill continues to function as a working sawmill, demonstrating historical wood-cutting techniques to visitors.

The mill features an innovative balance frame design that uses lead blocks instead of stones to maintain stability during sawing operations.
