Visit the Keijersmolen

Experience an active tour of a working windmill. The enthusiastic miller tells the story of grain milling from ancient times to the present day. Grinding took quite a lot of effort long ago and mills provided a solution for this. Learn how the mill is turned into the wind and how wind power turns the millstone via large gears, experience the power of the wheelwork. If there is enough wind, you can see how grain is milled into flour. And also find out how the mill was used as a messenger for local residents.
Industrialisation could not be stopped by the Keijersmolen either. Witness the old diesel engine that has to be started manually. This does require some power. Would you like to give it a try?

For visitors who find the mill steps too steep, there is the film in which miller Theo Keijers talks with heart and soul about his life as a miller, complemented by beautiful animations about the mill in operation.

The visit to the Keijers mill will be remembered for a long time.
