Saint Martinus

The windmill Sint Martinus in Didam (in the municipality of Montferland in the Dutch province of Gelderland) is a round stone belt mill from 1855. The mill had no predecessor. A fire in the mill during the night of November 11 to 12, 1964, had a good outcome due to the intervention of the owner and the fire department. Sint Martinus remained in operation until 1973, when the mill was stopped due to a detached pole. In 2004, Sint Martinus was sold to the housing corporation Laris Wonen, which had the mill restored to working order in 2007. The St. Martinus Foundation operates the white-plastered mill. Escape: the mill has the Van Bussel system with Ten Have flap on the inner pole and the Fauel system on the outer pole.
