Korenmolen De Windotter

Korenmolen De Windotter is a working corn mill on the Walkade in IJsselstein, built in 1732 and in full commercial use since its restoration in 1987, where a miller, his wife and dozens of volunteers grind flour for local bakers and for home bakers who buy it in the mill shop.

The mill is one of the largest corn mills in the Netherlands and turns at least five days a week on wind power. The grain is ground between two millstones, which turn slowly and keep the flour cool, and the wholemeal flours, such as wheat, barley and maize, have nothing added. The range covers wheat, spelt, rye, barley, oats, maize and buckwheat as wholemeal flour, sifted flour, flakes and whole grain for milling at home, in bags from 500 grams up to 25 kilos. The shop also sells flour products from elsewhere, baking mixes, bread improvers and other baking supplies, which aren't included here.

The mill shop behind the mill is open on Wednesday from 10:00 to 16:00, Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00, and there is a guided tour of the mill at 14:00 on each of those days.

The mill meets the hygiene code of the Ambachtelijk Korenmolenaars Gilde, the craft millers' guild, which it must pass to supply flour to bakers.
