De Roosdonck, Historical windmill in Nuenen, Netherlands
The round stone windmill De Roosdonck stands on a small hill, reaching toward the sky with its traditional Dutch smock mill architecture from 1884.
During initial construction in 1883, the structure partially collapsed, leading to a modified design that resulted in a narrower tower than typical windmills of that period.
Vincent van Gogh created seven different sketches of De Roosdonck during his time in Nuenen, establishing the mill as a subject of artistic documentation.
The mill maintains its operational status through regular maintenance of components such as the kruibok and luitafel, preserving its functioning as a gristmill.
A precise replica of De Roosdonck stands in the Van Gogh Friendship Park in Nanjing, China, built in 2011 as a tribute to Dutch milling heritage.
