Nederland - Leiden, De Put
Windmill De Put is named after miller Jan Jansz. Put, owner of the mill that was located on this spot in the 17th century. The original mill dates from 1619, and burned down in 1640. After the wooden flour mill was rebuilt afterwards, it had to make way in 1729 for a stone tower mill. This mill was demolished in 1817.
Archaeologists discovered the foundations of the octagonal mill in 1982. The idea was put forward to build a post mill on the old bastion. This idea was finally realized five years later and in 1987 the cormill was rebuild on the former ramparts of the city of Leiden.
De Put is located nearby the Rembrandtbrug and Rembrandtplein. It is believed that the original mill once was operated by the father of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn, who was born nearby the windmill.
Normally the mill is open on Saturdays and is still functioning.

A majestic reconstructed giant that perpetuates tradition, and which Rembrandt's name adorns with a special aura.
