Johanna

Johanna, De Korenbloem or De Molen van Schennink is a tower mill in Culemborg, Gelderland, Netherlands which was built in 1888 and has been restored to working order. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument.
The first mill on this site was a smock mill which was built in 1878 for Pieter Jan and Jan Pieter de Heus. It burnt down on 15 February 1888. Johanna was built to replace it. It was then known as De Korenbloem. The cap and machinery from a demolished drainage mill at Kortgerecht, Gelderland were used. In 1921, the mill was bought by J Schennink. Restorations were carried out in 1943, 1954, 1975-76 and 1993. In 1943, the mill was renamed Johanna. From 1943-76, the sails were fitted with the Van Bussel system on their leading edges. Johanna remained in the ownership of the Schennink family until 2012, when it was sold to the Stichting Elisabeth Weeshuis. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, № 11580.
