This mill doesn’t have a name—or maybe it does. Everybody knows the mill as Havelter Molen (Havelte Mill). It’s used to mill grain if there is sufficient wind. The entire process from grain to flour can be observed. A guided tour will tell you everything you need to know. Listen here to the sounds of the large, wooden cogwheels on their thick, wooden axles and the “singing” of the milling stones.

Havelte Mill was expanded in 2012 with add-on De Molenschuur. A modern space, which is aligned with the mill’s construction style. With De Molenschuur, millers and volunteers have a (floor-)heated space they can use. This is luxury; most millers drink their coffee in the cold. The space has a kitchen and toilets. De Molenschuur has a small shop and second-hand books for sale. It also has an area that can be rented out for meetings or parties.
