"Wenninkmolen" Lintelo

The Wenninkmolen is a flour mill in Lintelo in the Dutch province Gelderland.De mill was built in 1860 for the Wennink family, which explains the name of the mill. The mill remained in the hands of this family until 1920. The mill has been owned by the Nijland family since 1973. The mill was restored in 1984. On December 27, 2007 the mill was transferred to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Wennink Mill in Lintelo.De rods of the mill have a length of 23.88 meters. The inner rod is equipped with the Van Bussel system with Ten Have valves, the outer rod has old Dutch fencing with sails. The mill has one pair of grinding stones on the ground floor. This is because in 1936 an engine room was built for a suction gas engine, which was later replaced by an electric motor. Since 1980, only the wind power (by means of a few additional gears) has been the only source of propulsion. There are also some other tools in the mill. Voluntary millers put the mill into operation on a regular basis.
