Molen de Windhond, Utrecht Province, The Netherlands

4.5 (25 reviews) Thursday: Spent < 1 hour Ranking #3 in Woerden Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues

Highlight of my holiday

De Windhond is een ronde stenen molen die 1785 in Woerden is gebouwd. De molen staat op één van de laatste stukjes stadswal, die oorspronkelijk deel uit maakte van een bastion, behorend bij de stadswallen van het oude Woerden. In 1984 is de molen gerestaureerd en vandaag de dag is deze als korenmolen nog steeds in gebruik. Het meel van de molen wordt op de wekelijkse streekmarkt verkocht! De molen kan regelmatig bezocht worden, de entree bedraagt 2 euro. Ook kan de molen worden bezocht onder begeleiding van een Gilde gids.

The Windmill of Woerden
Though the location of the windmill is high above the center of old Woerden, you can't see the lower part of the mill as it's surrounded by trees. You will see it better from a distance. Due to the covid-19, we could not climb the windmill. The shop was open so we bought a carton of flour. We will be back someday. Paid parking on the street.

Working windmill
Owner was very nice and it was great to go up into a working windmill. The views from up high are amazing, as well. Loved the steep laddres going up and down. Different "feel" than going to some of the more popular windmill locations around the Netherlands.
