This is an ancient mill on the city ramparts of Bremen. There used to be 6 of them on the ramparts - only one is left. And the name "Coffee Mill" (Kaffeemühle in German) refers to a café and restaurant in the mill.

Le moulin de Varennes- Jarcy date de 1260, il appartenait aux abbesses de l'abbaye de Jarcy. Situé à environ 25 km de Paris sur le bord de la rivière Yerres. On y a moulu le grain jusqu'en 1922.

The "De Onrust" windmill was built in 1809 to drain the Naardermeer. The 15-meter high mill controls the water level of this nearly 700-hectare swamp area, without the support of another pumping station.

The scoop wheel moves approximately 10 m³ of water per revolution. For this the wick cross turns twice. To achieve a level reduction of 1 cm, one day (approximately 16 hours) with good wind is needed.

The Nijlânnermole near Workum was probably built in 1784. The octagonal top porter is of the ground sailer type and its function is a polder mill. The polder that he drains is 440 hectares and is partly bordered by the old dike that runs along Workum and Hindeloopen.

The first mill on this location was built in 1624, the same year that the polder was diked in. He then worked with a water wheel. In 1770 there was a mill with a mortar, but in practice it was too small. In 1784 it was replaced by the current mill, which had a larger auger. The pine spindle dates from 1624, the rest of the wood has been replaced.

Until 1950, the mill was driven by wind power, after which a diesel engine was installed.

WESTZAAN - Mill “Het Prinsenhof" (1722) a National Monument, which was used until 1899 for peeling of barley to groat; the only Peel mill in Netherlands that has a peel work!

It is known that there was a mill as early as 1556. In the following centuries this mill has been regularly renewed. The last time that took place was in 1899. The existing mill (a ground sailor) was demolished and a scaffolding mill came in return. The lower stone part was built on site and the actual mill was from the Zaan region. There the mill was used as an oil mill. In Bunschoten the mill was converted into a flour mill.
