Corn windmill De Leeuw (the Lion), established at its current location for more than 150 years, is a landmark in the village of Aalsmeer. 22 volunteers keep this cultural heritage working as a living monument that accommodates a regional demand for traditionally milled flours. As part of the historic cultural education local primary schools, as well as tourists, often visit the mill. This monument is also used as a training and examination mill for apprentice millers. Thus Corn windmill De Leeuw is a cultural heritage that caters for traditionally milled flours and historical education.
We did not go inside as it was closed. Cool to find out the history. Very beautiful and easy walk from the city center.
