Molen De Put

The camera says YESSS!👊📸

Very nice landscape in Leiden. Channel, bridge, molen... Amazing place to enjoy the view or take some pictures!

It was so nice to see how the windmill works from the inside! And it was even possible to buy the flour! Great experience!

One of the landmarks of Leiden.Hardly ten minutes walking distance from the central station,the atmosphere transports you to another era altogether.Alongside are pretty houses and little bridges surrounding it. This is Molen de Put in Leiden. It is a wooden corn mill replica only 30 years of age. The original mill dates back to 1619 and was owned by Jan Janszoon Put. The first mill burnt down in 1640, rebuilt in 1729 and destroyed again 1817. The octagonal mill foundation was later discovered in 1982 and reconstructed again in 1986 made possible through fundraising campaign among the population of Leiden.Though the windmill is only open for visitors on Saturdays,others days unfortunately is not accessible for public.

Loved the windmill and the old bridge. This is the most beautiful spot in Leiden, where the famous artist Rembrandt was borne and spent part of his life.
