De Ster Windmill
Molino de viento De Ster
De Ster Windmill (Molenpark 3, Utrecht) – located just 20 minutes southeast of Amsterdam, this windmill dates from the 18th century (1739) and was in use as a timber business for centuries. In 1991, wind power was replaced by electricity, and the windmill on the roof was demolished. Years later, these plans came to fruition: in September 1998, the mill hull was put in place, and months later the mill was officially opened.
Every Saturday you can go inside the mill free of charge. The doors are opened between 1 pm and 4 pm and you can take a guided tour. If the wind comes from the right direction, you can see how they used to saw here, and enthusiastic guides are keen to explain how the mill works and tell you more about the history of the Molenpark area.
