The Eendragt

De Eendragt is a windmill built in 1691 as a malt mill at Utrechtseweg 13, along the Utrechtse Vecht in the Dutch municipality of Weesp.

The mill is an octagonal grist mill of the scaffolding mill type with a stone substructure and a wooden, thatched superstructure. Around 1807 the mill was converted into a shell sand mill and in 1815 the Eendragt was converted into a saw mill. From 1920 sawing was also done on engine power and in 1932 sawing on the wind was discontinued. After this, the Eendragt fell into disrepair. In 1950 the municipality of Weesp bought the mill and two years later sold it to a private individual under the obligation to restore the mill externally, which happened. The mill was completely converted into a house, where a number of characteristic features were lost. Since 1977 the mill has been running occasionally again. Of the work in progress, only the upper wheel remains; the rest has been removed. The crosswork for the wind-blowing of the fled consists of wooden rollers.
