Korenmolen De Distilleerketel
About

Korenmolen De Distilleerketel is a striking historic windmill in the heart of Delfshaven, offering a vivid glimpse into Rotterdam’s milling heritage. Although the current mill dates from 1986, it stands on the site of an original 1727 mill that once served the bustling grain and distilling industries of the area. Today, the mill remains fully operational, producing high‑quality flour using traditional methods. Visitors can explore its wooden interior, climb to the gallery for sweeping views of Delfshhaven’s canals and Rotterdam’s skyline, and learn about centuries‑old milling techniques. The adjacent mill shop sells freshly milled flour, local products, and Dutch souvenirs, adding to the charm of the visit. With its blend of craftsmanship, history, and picturesque surroundings, De Distilleerketel offers an authentic and atmospheric encounter with Rotterdam’s past.
