The Oude Molen in Valkenburg is a unique watermill that dates from the sixteenth century. The mill has no fewer than four attics. The complete mill mechanism is still present.
The traditional water wheel, since the iron mill was rebuilt, was replaced by a Francis turbine in 1917 according to the most modern insights. This drive is coupled via connecting rods and belts to grinding stones, tedders, sieving machines and paternoster elevators.
The mill is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Molenaar Hans Camp is happy to tell you all about the history and operation of the water mill, and about the milling of flour. You can also check out the 1917 Francis Turbine.
You can enjoy freshly baked spelled pancakes. While enjoying a cup of coffee, you can see how spelled breads are baked and you can also taste the breads. Spelled is one of the oldest grains in the world.
In the shop you can buy the breads and other flour products for home use. Come by and enjoy this special Watermill by Hendrick de Keyser Monuments. The free tour starts at any time.
