De Kaai, Historic gristmill in Sloten, Netherlands.
The De Kaai stellingmill features a weatherboarded tower with rotating sails that turn according to wind direction, converting grain into flour.
The Dutch mill received official recognition as a Rijksmonument in September 1968, marking its status as a protected national heritage site.
The name De Kaai, meaning 'the key' in Dutch, reflects the central role this mill played in local grain processing for the Frisian community.
Visitors can access the mill at Bolwerk Zuidzijde street in Sloten, where guided tours explain traditional milling techniques during operational hours.
Located in Gaasterlân-Sleat, this tower mill maintains its original grinding mechanisms and demonstrates traditional Frisian agricultural practices.
