The Piepermolen (or Mill of Pieper) is a windmill on the Rekkenseweg in Rekken, in the municipality of Berkelland in the province of Gelderland. This stone belt mill was built in 1796. After the sails broke off the mill during a storm in 1940, the hull fell into an increasingly dilapidated state for thirty years. In 1970, however, the Piepermolen was restored, using parts of dismantled and demolished mills. The name derives from the family name of the owners between 1907 and 1965.De shape of the Piepermolen is special: the bottom two meters are cylindrical, after which the course towards the top is bricked up in a very detailed conical way. The refuge is old Dutch and the mill is equipped with two pairs of grinding stones, which are used to grind fodder on a voluntary basis. The mill is owned by the Eibergse Molens Foundation and can be visited on Saturday afternoons.
