Description

Located far outside the built-up area and in a landscape of pleasing character, an eight-sided windmill with standing sail on brick base and wooden body and roof, built in 1898, in possession of millstones, floor boards, the mill and the sail shaft and all that can be reckoned as part of the working machinery. The corn mill built in 1898 contains components from the wooden sawmill De Goede Hoop, nicknamed the Rasphuis, also called De Oude, which was dismantled in Zaandam in that year; this name is recorded on the bearding of the mill in Winterswijk with the year 1898; on the cast-iron mill shaft is the name of the foundry De Prins van Oranje with the designation 1875 no. 95. Next to the mill there are three younger coupled sheds and a silo. The eight-sided brick mill base is strengthened by pilasters; the mill has two double entrance doors, both in the side facing the road and the one facing the rear yard; above the double doors on the left two strip doors, which from the body gave access to the now disappeared standing sail; the windows are provided with a nine-pane glazing bars; the wooden octagon and the roof are covered with roof felt. The Venemans mill built in 1898 is of architectural-historical value as a corn mill with the brick base, wooden octagon and roof, on which the name and build year are shown, as well as the complete working machinery, and furthermore its well-preserved main form and detailing and finally its location.
