De Roos, Stone windmill in central Delft, Netherlands
De Roos stands tall with seven floors and features a traditional Dutch grinding mechanism that processes organic grain into flour every week.
Built in 1679 on the site of an earlier wooden structure from 1352, this windmill remains the last of fifteen that operated in Delft.
The mill represents Dutch engineering expertise, functioning as both a historical monument and an educational center for traditional milling techniques.
Visitors can access De Roos from Wednesday through Sunday between 13:00 and 17:00, with admission free but specific activities costing 7.50 euros.
During railway construction in 2012, engineers lifted the entire mill structure one meter up and later lowered it onto the new train tunnel.
