Grain mill "'t Slot" in Gouda build in 1832 on the fundaments of castle Gouda at the shore of the river IJssel.
View from the deck on the river IJssel
Little workshop downstairs to keep the mill turning. Yes it still works and was turning when I was visiting.
Bijzonder dat het op de fundamenten van een kasteel gebouwd is.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenReminds me of my first major school project in a British grammar school--to build a model windmill.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenA nice view from the deck. I like the old workshop, the person who works there knows where everything is.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is great that it still works!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI've seen these in Europe, of course, and there are a few in the US. The blades look like an open lattice, though, and I've never quite understood how the wind propelled them.
