Description
Molen De Put in Leiden, The Netherlands, the most beautiful spot in Leiden, where the famous artist Rembrandt was born and spent part of his life.
This wooden corn mill replica is only 30 years old. The original mill dates back to 1619 and was owned by Jan Janszoon Put. The first mill burnt down in 1640, rebuilt in 1729 and destroyed again 1817. The octagonal mill foundation was later discovered in 1982 and reconstructed again in 1986 made possible through fundraising campaign among the population of Leiden.
An interesting fact is that the mill is designed in such a way that it can turn to face the wind. Since it was reconstructed, the windmill turns a single millstone.
Third place in the "Windmills And Solar" contest sponsored by "Art Changes Lives" group 12/19/2020.
