De Koe

De Koe stands on an elevated platform with white-painted wooden walls and four large sails that rotate to capture wind energy for grinding grain.

The windmill received official recognition as a Rijksmonument in 1970, marking its inclusion in the national register of protected Dutch heritage structures.

The mill represents the Netherlands' long tradition of harnessing wind power, demonstrating traditional grain processing methods that sustained local communities for generations.

Visitors can observe the internal mechanisms of the mill, including the grinding stones and gear systems that transform wind power into mechanical energy.

The elevated platform design of De Koe allows millers to safely operate the sails while providing additional storage space beneath the milling floor.
