Zeldenrust Mill
Highlight • Monument
It stands on the site of the former Omvlee garden center that ceased its activities in 2014, ending exactly 125 years of activity of this family in the village.
Molen Zeldenrust remains accessible during events such as National Molendag (May), Drentse Molendag (August) and Open Monuments Day (September).
Five homes have now been realized on the site of the former garden center.
The small road near the mill, built in 2017 for the purpose of completed homes, has been given the name Jacoba Omvleepad, as a tribute to Jacoba Omvlee (1885-1977), who bought the mill together with her husband in 1919 and ran it for decades and also has a grocery store there. had.
She also saved the lives of four Jews during the Second World War by providing them with shelter for a long time.
In 1988 the story of the people in hiding in the mill was made into a film. The film was shot in Nieuw-Amsterdam and Zuidbarge and the roles were played by Jacoba Omvlee's grandchildren. In 1990 the film, called “Jacoba”, was broadcast by the NOS, which gave Jacoba some national fame.
Viewings and visits are always possible by appointment. You are also very welcome if the gate is open.
The mill was transferred to the Zeldenrust Molen Foundation in 2001. Occasionally, milling is still done on a voluntary basis.
The mill has the status of a national monument.
