Windmill De Koornbloem - Goes

On an embankment in the northern corner of the city, close to the TV tower, the mill at the former ‘s-Heer Hendrikskinderenpoort rises high above the built-up area. This is the only remaining mill of the 11 mills that Goes once counted. The text on the damaged facade stone at the entrance to De Koornbloem refers to its founders. The keystones above the entrances read: anno 1801.

The mill with five attics has never been inhabited. A garage was built on the north side with a dwelling house next to it. Before a house was built in 1867, a grist mill stood here. Grain was still milled regularly until 1967. In 1970, the mill, purchased by the municipality of Goes in 1954, was restored. A thorough restoration also took place in 1995.

The authentic tower mill is still in use as a corn mill. The millstones are driven by wind power to grind grain into traditional flour, exactly as it was done 200 years ago. You can visit the mill shop every Saturday and buy De Koornbloem products.
