Nederland - De Molen van Rolde

The Molen van Rolde is a grist and barley mill. The mill was built in 1873 and replaced a ill on this site, which burnt down a year earlier. The mill has no formal name, taking its name from the town of Rolde. The mill passed through a number of owners and came into the ownership of the Schuiling family in 1892.
In 1968 the mill was sold to the municipality of Rolde.

The Molen van Rolde - situated on a little man made hill - is a three-storey smock mill on a single-storey brick base. There is no stage, the sails reaching down almost to ground level. The smock and cap are thatched. The mill is winded by a tailpole and winch. The four sails - with a span of 19.10 metres - are carried in a cast-iron windshaft.

Over the years the windmill has been restored several times. The mill is still working and has a volunteer miller.
The Molen van Rolde is a so called Rijksmonument, a Dutch national heritage site.
