Welgelegen, Flour windmill in Heerenveen, Netherlands.
The Welgelegen windmill stands at 10 meters high with eight-sided smock wings and a stage platform offering views across Heerenveen town.
Built in 1849 by millwright Willem Frederick Looman, the Welgelegen windmill operated commercially until 1923, primarily processing rye and barley crops.
The mill received recognition as a Rijksmonument in February 1967, marking its status as a protected Dutch cultural heritage structure.
Visitors can explore the windmill every Saturday morning between 9 AM and 12 PM, with free guided tours available upon request.
Welgelegen remains the only surviving windmill from seventeen structures that operated in Heerenveen since the fifteenth century.
