Broekmolen

The Broekmolen (or: Broekermolen) probably dates from 1773, the date shown in wall anchors. At that time, the complex consisted of a small grain and oil mill and a house under one roof. The barns were on the other side of the yard. The mill was supplied with water from a reservoir, which received the water from a mill branch of the Gulp.

In 1906 the mill building was expanded, the mill and water wheel were enlarged. The old small mill was demolished and a larger mill was added. During and after the First World War, the water wheel was coupled to a 110 Volt dynamo. As a result, the surrounding houses received electric light.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, only baking rays and feed grain were ground. The mechanism for the oil mill had since been removed. The mill function disappeared when the miller died in 1962. From 1980 the mill was completely renovated and used as a residence.
