"Teunismolen" De Heurne

The Teunismolen is a corn mill in De Heurne in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The mill was built in 1822, most likely according to the design of the beltmolen Hermien built three years earlier in Harreveld. The mill was initially called De Haan but was always referred to in popular speech by the nearby farmhouse Het Teunishuis, from which the current name originated. The mill was restored in 1942. After its purchase by the then municipality of Dinxperlo in 1986, the mill was thoroughly restored again. After the municipal reorganization, the mill became the property of the municipality of Aalten. The sails of the mill have a length of 23.50 meters and are equipped with the Van Busselsystem, on the inner sail in combination with Ten Have sluices, on the outer sail with cloth. The equipment consists of one pair of grinding stones and various other equipment. The mill is regularly operated by volunteer millers.
