Nederland - Delden, De Noordmolen
De Noordmolen is a watermill which is more than 650 years old. In May 1347, Herman van Twicklo bought Huize Eijsink and the Noordmolens (mills) situated along the Azelo stream from the nobleman Berend van Hulscher. The deed of sale has been preserved in the archives of Kasteel Twickel (Twickel Castle) in which mention is made of the Noordmolens. In the past, there was a corn mill opposite the present oil mill (see PiP4); this was demolished in 1831.
De Noordmolen has been restored several times. In 1917, the mill was repaired, but stood still, partly due to lack of water, leading to renewed decay. In the years 1976-1978, the mill building was once again restored by order of the Twickel foundation. In 1984, the mill received a new water wheel. A last major renovation took place in 2006.
De Noordmolen has always belonged to the Twickel estate. Since 1990, volunteers have kept the watermill in operation and visitors are able to see how oil is extracted from linseed.
