Another old watermill in The Netherlands

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

This is the Oostendorper Watermolen in Haaksbergen, the Netherlands. Its name roughly translates as "the watermill at the east end of the village". It is driven by a stream called the Buurserbeek, which also, under its German name of "Ahauser Aa", drives this watermill.

It is a double mill; an oil mill with one water wheel and a grain mill with two. It was built in 1633 on the spot of an older mill from 1548, which was destroyed in 1584 during the war for independence against the Spanish.

Here's a colour version for those who prefer such modernisms:
