Power from outside to inside
Follow how wind is transmitted via the sails and shafts. Point out the gear wheels and direction of rotation and ask which parts are adjusted differently when the wind is too strong or too weak.
Water around the village
The mill belongs to a landscape of polders and ditches. You could combine the technical tour with the village walk to see which area had to be kept dry.
Accessible floors
A lift and an accessible toilet make more of the mill reachable than is often expected. When booking, ask which levels and moving parts are accessible for your situation.
Before you go
