Description

The octagonal upper porter from 1851 is located on a mill hill in the village center of Winsum. In 1628 there was already a post mill at this location. 'De Ster' was in professional use until the 1980s and, after a major restoration in the 1990s, is regularly running on a voluntary basis. At the moment the mill is not able to grind, but the sails are rotated several times a month. At the end of 2008, a number of parts of the mill were replaced and the outer rod was fitted with new self-pivoting valves. The mill is owned by the Winsum Mill Foundation.
