Built in 1987, Molen De Put is a replica of an old mill that once stood on this very spot. It///'s a stunning example of Dutch engineering and design, and it///'s still in use today for grinding wheat and other grains.

As you approach the mill, you///'ll notice its impressive size and intricate design.
