Watermolen Schaloen (Sjloens meule)

Oud-Valkenburg 9
Schin op Geul
The mill traditionally belonged to Schaloen Castle, hence the name (Sjloens meule in the local dialect). It is a water-driven grain mill that was built at the end of the seventeenth century from marl and painted white.

An old-fashioned mill branch, a branch of the Geul, makes the mill wheel turn. At the time it was a so-called 'banmolen', which meant that residents in the surrounding area were obliged to have their grain milled here.

Next to the Schaloensmolen is the castle garden of Oud-Valkenburg.
