Mill de Onrust
De Onrust is a flour mill in Oude Pekela in the province of Groningen.
The mill was built in 1850 as a corn and hulling mill, only some remnants of the pelwerk remain. The mill has been, since 1956, municipal property first of the municipality of Oude Pekela, since the municipal reorganization of 1990 of the municipality of Pekela. The mill has been restored several times and is regularly operated on a voluntary basis thanks to some voluntary millers, including an instructor from the Guild of Voluntary Millers and her students. The mill used to have self-pressure on a rod, but the 21-meter-long rods are now equipped with the Old Dutch wiek system with sails.
