Sint-Janshuismolen (St. John’s Mill) a windmill in the Sint-Anna Quarter, eastern Bruges, Flanders, Belgium.
Sint-Janshuismolen is one of the medieval flour mills in Bruges that has survived in its original location till today. It has been declared as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
It gets its name because it once supplied flour to the St. John’s Hospital. It is located on the banks of a tranquil canal on the ramparts of the original city fortress. There was a mill at the site from 1297 which was destroyed by a storm in 1744. The present building is the result of a reconstruction in 1770. It belonged to a family of millers until 1914 when it was purchased by the city of Bruges. The mill was neglected for 50 years and started functioning again in 1964.
Today, the Sint-Janshuismolen has been carefully renovated and preserved and continues to make flour in the traditional way. In summer, when the wind is high, visitors can see the sails spinning at full speed just like it did in the middle ages. It is open for public view and visitors can learn the workings of a traditional flour mill from the millers. A steep staircase takes visitors to the museum located inside.

Back in the 1970's, people started using bright, bold colors for the exteriors of buildings to inject life into the town. These "Jellybean Row Houses" are everywhere now, and they give the city such a distinct, memorable sense of place. It wouldn't be St. John's without them!

Consecrated in 1895, This church sits about 23km SW of the town of Beverley in the Avon Valley, east of Perth.
It's one of the many small churches that dot the countryside, built in the days when the only way to get to the Sunday Service was by horse.
The raised mortar in the stonework joints give it (IMO) a somewhat bizarre appearance.
