Sluis had as many as seven mills in the 15th century. The Pasmolen, an open standerd mill stood there until 1926 and the 1797-dated open standerd mill on the road to St. Anna ter Muiden was demolished in 1937.
Mill De Brak was built in 1739 and originally served as a corn mill. The mill has had several functions over the centuries and is an important part of Sluis' industrial heritage. Tours of the mill are offered, in which expert guides will tell you all about the construction, maintenance and historical significance of De Brak.
Mill De Brak is named after the French dog breed Braque. Just as a dog puts its nose to the wind, so does the Windmill.
