4.5 based on 52 reviews
The old mill yard of the ‘Molen de Ster’ sawmill forms a unique industrial heritage site, dating back to the eighteenth century. After several renovations, the site is currently used in a versatile manner – reflecting both its historical roots and the lively neighbourhood of Lombok, in which it is situated in Utrecht. Molen de Ster is only an 6 minute walk from Utrecht Central Station (Jaarbeursplein exit) and close to Utrecht’s medieval city centre. Our cafe is open from Wednesdays till Sundays, on Saturdays we are open for free guided tours, and we regularly organise or host events in our saw barn or on the mill yard. Have a look at our diary to see when our next events are taking place. Furthermore, the mill can be hired for private or business-related occasions.

Very busy during events, but always well organized. Less than 4 minutes walk from Central Station, and you are already inside. You can have a delicious meal next to it or just visit a cinema. If you don't feel like it and want to shop quickly, walk back to the train and walk into the covered Hoog Catherijne.
