"Daams' mill" Vaassen

Daams' Mill is a flour mill in Vaassen (municipality of Epe) in the Dutch province Gelderland.De mill was built in 1870 and was dismantled in 1934. The animal feed company for which the mill was used as a warehouse ceased operations in 1964, after which the condition of the mill deteriorated. In 1989, the Vaassens Molen Foundation gave the go-ahead for a restoration, after which the sails turned again in 1990. The wooden octagon turned out to be no longer usable and had to be completely replaced. The rods of the mill are 22.40 meters long and are equipped with the old Dutch fencing. The vang is a steel band vang. The interior consists of a pair of grinding stones. The mill can be visited on Saturdays and by appointment. The mill will be raised by 4.8 metres in mid-2011.
