Nederland - Noordwolde, Windlust

Windlust is a octagonal smock mill, which was built in 1860 and raised in 1880. Fourty years later a brick engine-house was added to the base of the mill. In the 1930s the mill worked mostly by engine, but by wind during World War !!. After the war the condition of the mill deteriorated and it ceased working in 1953. Around 1960 it was restored and some years later left to the foundation De Oosthoek.

Windlust is a so called stellingmolen; the stage is 6.20 meters above the ground. The mill has a brick base and the smock and cap are thatched.

Nowadays Windlust - a flour mill - is still in working order and is kept running by volunteers. The mill - listed as a Dutch national monument - can be visited on most Saturdays.
