Grinding in motion
Follow herbs or spices from delivery to grinding machinery and product. Ask which parts are turning during your visit and keep your distance from moving parts.
Comparing two mills
De Lelie and De Ster have different building histories. Look at the body, sails and interior fittings, and use the labels for dating and rebuilding.
The shop as a final stop
The mill products show what the process yields. Ask which products were ground on site and which come from the rest of the shop’s range.
Before you go
The mill and shop are open Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday 10.00–16.30; closed on other days. Guided tours and group visits are possible by appointment. Ask about accessibility and public holiday hours in advance.
