Windmill De Windhond
De Windhond is a round stone mill built in Woerden in 1755. Today, the mill is well maintained and is an important part of the townscape.
The mill stands on a mill hill, originally part of a bastion belonging to the ramparts of old Woerden. The Windhond has a flight of 25.2 metres. In 1984, the mill was restored and is still in use today as a corn mill. The mill's flour has recently been sold again at the weekly local market. The interior of the mill is largely in authentic condition. Today, this mill is used professionally to grind grain into flour in a traditional way, which is also for sale downstairs in the mill. From pancake flour to wholemeal flour and from cake mix to bread mix.
