Build in 1850 and used till 1962.
Restored in 1970 and from the looks of it she could use a new layer of paint.
FYI: "Gans" = "Goose"
The original windmill was built in 1312 and was part of an abbey resort founded in 1255 on the order of Isabelle de France, sister of King Louis IX (Saint-Louis).
The abbey was destroyed in 1795, but the mill remained.
After renovation it has been a decoration of Longchamp hippodrome since 1857.

I took this picture of Haigh Windmill on the 13th March 2014 in the dense fog. to be honest the fog was not as thick as it appears in the photograph but to add to the illusion I drained the colours and added a slight vignette...and you could swear it was taken in the early 1900's.
Windmill De Hoop (Hope) near Garderen dates from 1853. My oldest sister moved to this beautiful area a while ago with her family. View On Black

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel...
Recently erected, now producing power for the farm. It is visible as you come into Saline from the east.
Mike and I decided that the best way to see Mykonos (Μύκονος) was to rent an ATV. After leaving the Avis rental office, we initially set off toward Korfos (Κόρφος) Bay, then reversed our route and made our way inland toward Ano Mera (Άνω Μερά). Along the way, we passed Bonis Windmill, which is affiliated with the Folklore Museum of Mykonos and located along Eparchiaki Odos Mikonou (Επαρχιακή Οδός Μυκόνου).
One of the many windmills that can be seen from The Acle Straight when traveling to and from Great Yarmouth.
De Zwaan Windmill is America's only authentic, working Dutch windmill. The windmill was brought to America from the town of Vinkel in the province of Noord Brabant
Before electricity came to the country, and for many years after that matter, harnessing wind power was common and usually attached to a water well. An especially valuable piece of equipment where cattle needed a plentiful supply of water even when mother nature did not provide rainfall to keep ponds and slews filled.
When I arrived in Amsterdam I went on a tour through the city and the hinterland. And how could I experience the Netherlands more authentic then on a bike...?
Our first stop outside of the city was at a historic windmill. This one is an original one and probably about 200+ years old. A dutch guy is living in it. He looks after it and takes care of that old lady. It's very sad that of those thousands of mills only a few are left today. So he does an important job here...
So my trip through the Netherlands started with some of the biggest clichés: bikes and windmills. What could be the next? ;)
