Nederland - Wanroy, Hamse Molen

The Hamse Molen, popularly known as De Ster, is a grinding post mill. The mill was built between 1810 and 1811. After a restoration in 1950, the mill was neglected and collapsed in 1974. But it was completely rebuilt in 1977.

The mill is quite unique for the Netherlands, because of the fact that this is the only closed, three-storey post mill in the country.

The official name Hamse Molen of the mill comes from the Hamse Veld, the original name of the grounds on which the mill is located. The windmill is operated by volunteers and can be visited during (limited) opening hours.

Al principio me perdía entre tanto molino, contaba 8, luego pasé a 4 y finalmente vi que se trataba de uno solo. Si la estructura del molino no gira, lo hace el fotógrafo, de ahí salen las 4 tomas desde diferentes ángulos y de cada una de ellas, una ampliación de tamaño. Muy bueno Jaap. Contigo aprendo más arquitectura, geografía... que en la escuela:--)

Excellent photos Jaap................nicely presented in this collage. I especially like the close up views in each PiP.

The windmill is wonderful.........It looks as if it's in excellent condition and I especially like the paintwork which has been beautifully done. The restoration work and ongoing maintenance must be very good.

Enjoy the rest of your day.........and have an enjoyable weekend.
