Windlust Windmill (Wateringen)
Highlight • Monument
In the 1930s the wind drive was switched off and the mill fell into disrepair. A diesel engine took over the work of the mill. The position was demolished in 1947 and the blades were removed in 1952. Windlust stood without scaffolding and blades for almost twenty years; In 1969 the hull was purchased by the 'Stichting Vrienden van de Wateringse Molen'. On May 1, 1972, the completely restored mill was put back into use, with a single pair of stones.
The scaffolding was replaced in 2008. An animal feed store is located underneath the mill, where flour is also sold.
The mill has national monument status.
