The Jan van Cuijk is a round brick belt grist mill in the Dutch village of Sint Agatha. It was built in 1860 as a grain and bark mill by order of Vincent van Riet. The mill is named after Jan I van Cuijk, lord of the Land of Cuijk and friend of King Edward I of England and of the Duke of Brabant. At the outbreak of the Second World War the mill suffered damage and also during the liberation in 1944 it was hit by several shells. In 1942 the belt was excavated and replaced by a warehouse. Permission to demolish was granted in the late 50s, but it did not come to that. However, an electric milling company was started in the mill. In 1971 the Jan van Cuijk was sold to the municipality.
