De Sterrenberg, Windmill in Nijeveen, Netherlands
This octagonal grain mill reaches 25 meters high, featuring a gallery at 10 meters and large sails that rotate against the skyline.
Built in 1786, the mill belonged to the Sterrenberg family and underwent reconstruction in 1977 at its current location in Nijeveen.
The mill represents traditional Dutch milling techniques and remains a central point for understanding historical grain processing methods in Drenthe province.
The municipality of Meppel maintains the mill, investing 26,000 euros annually to keep this structure in working condition.
This mill contains a self-adjusting sail system that automatically modifies its position to capture optimal wind power and direction.
