De Traanroeier
Molen De Traanroeier
Oudeschild’s platform windmill, built in 1902, which still grinds flour today. It is a landmark and photo spot of the fishing village.
De Traanroeier is an eight-sided platform windmill for grinding grain. It was built in 1902 and restored to working order in 1987. On open days, volunteer millers operate it. Visitors can climb onto the platform to see the sails up close and buy freshly ground flour in the small shop. The windmill sits right beside Museum Kaap Skil and Oudeschild harbor, so it is easy to visit both. Open days are usually a few days a week. Admission is free or by voluntary donation.
