Bosom mill no. 6 Haastrecht

Boezemmolen No. 6 is a windmill in Haastrecht in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a round stone mill with a pronounced bell shape. With a flight of more than thirty meters, this is the mill with the largest flight in the Netherlands.

The mill is owned by Stichting Het Zuid-Hollands Landschap and since 2005 there were plans to rebuild this mill, which finally started in 2010. In October 2010 a new roof was placed on the mill and on 14 May 2011, National Mill Day, the mill was officially put into use. At the end of 2017, the missing ongoing work was installed in the mill, including a wooden paddle wheel of 6.20 meters in diameter. The mill is therefore completely complete and grinding again. Currently (1-1-2018) consultations are being held with the water board De Stichtse Rijnlanden about the conditions under which the mill can again grind water in part of the original Hooge Boezem.
