The Grafelijke Korenmolen (Count’s Grain Mill) - Zeddam
With the Buitenmolen in Zevenaar, this mill is the oldest surviving windmill in the Netherlands, with the mill in Zeddam being the most in original condition in terms of wallwork.
The mill was probably partly built into a hill, after which a belt was additionally raised. The operation of the crank was from the beginning on the cap loft.
In 1839, a second pair of grinding stones was installed and the external staircase was replaced by an internal one. In 1963 and in 1974, the mill was restored. The last restoration could not prevent the mill from having to be shut down in 1982 for safety reasons. The various defects of the mill were remedied with a new restoration in the years 1990/1991. On 2 July 1991, the mill was able to festively resume operation.
