Brücke über die Jeetzel in Hitzacker an der Elbe (Niedersachsen)

... bonne fin de semaine à vous tous, amis d'Ipernity ! Mille mercis de vos passages sur ma p'tite galerie et de laisser vos appréciations. 3 notes si vous le souhaitez. Amitiés. Jocelyne.

The “Jan van Cuijk” is a round brick so called beltmolen (belt = a man made mound). The windmill was built in 1860 as a grain and bark mill commissioned by Vincent van Riet. The white painted corn mill is officially located in the hamlet of Sint Agatha. Originally the mill was named “Hagelkruische molen” and later named after lord Jan van Cuijk, friend of King Edward I of England and of the Duke of Brabant. At the outbreak of the World War II, the mill was damaged and during the liberation in 1944 it was hit by several shells. In 1942, the belt was excavated and replaced by a warehouse. At the end of the 1950s, permission for demolition was granted, but it never came to that. However, an electric grinding shop was started in the mill. In 1971, the “Jan van Cuijk” was sold to the municipality. The “Jan van Cuijk” is regularly operated by volunteer millers on Saturdays. The mill has the status of a Dutch national monument.
