Holten's Molen

the soaring sails and creaky wooden structures, the dusting flour, the turning grindstones of the edge mill and the crackling fire in the stove, the deafening sounds of the seed crusher and the scent of the warm linseed oil.
The windmill, built in 1890, was expanded with an oil mill and sawmill, respectively in the years 1893 and 1909.

The windmill, built in 1890, was expanded with an oil mill and sawmill, respectively in the years 1893 and 1909. This created a mill with three functions: grinding grain, crushing seeds and sawing wood; a unique combination. The introduction of cooperative societies, farmers’ unions and large-scale compound feed plants marked the end for the traditional windmills.
To prevent the mill from being demolished by the municipality in 1989, the foundation Holten’s Mill was established, which bought the mill for the symbolic price of 1 guilder and restored it to its former glory. On October 24, 1998, the mayor of Deurne reopened the mill as a fully functional grain and oil mill. In September 2008, the former wind-powered sawmill was also fully restored and ready for use again.
