This is the "Noordmolen" and it dates back to 1325. There used to be 2 mills on this site, one on either side of the creek, which was an arrangement on many sites. Usually there was a grain mill and an oil mill and often only the oil mill would survive because the dust created in grain mills is explosive in the right concentration. There is a video of this mill on Onno Vocks Youtube channel where you can follow the process of making linseed oil from start to finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlm-5_PQUqo
