De Distilleerketel Rotterdam

Windmill in Delfshaven

"De Distilleerketel windmill in Rotterdam is considered one of the Netherlands' largest windmills. It makes for an absolutely photogenic scene!"

This windmill is considered one of the Netherlands' largest windmills. It is quite a beautiful sight and makes for a photogenic scene.

Situated in the historic area of Delfshaven, it is surrounded by beautiful architecture, history, art, culture, and many shops and restaurants.

This mill was built in 1986. However, it is currently not functioning as a flour mill; it is just a beautiful structure with a lot of history.

If you decide to visit this place, you can sign up for an educational tour, which costs only 5 euros. Moreover, there's also the mill shop, where you can buy many fresh products, such as freshly ground coffee, tea, drinks, and an assortment of freshly baked goods.
