De Molen (windmill) Foxton

What an experience - both entertaining and informational. This was my first time in a windmill and it was awesome. The best part was knowing that this is a working mill.

At the ground floor is the information centre and shop where you can buy milled flour and other goodies. The ladies were great and very friendly. I arrived at a quiet time so was exploring by myself.

As the windmill was not operating when I visited, I was able to walk all around the balcony. And the balcony provided some very excellent views. It was a real experience being able to walk between the different floors and view the various equipment that was required for milling the flour.

Awesome time, great views, loved it. Games in mill for kids to play with. Great dutch food at entry. Super friendly staff.

Great fun climbing up the levels ($2 donation and take care on the steep stairs) and seeing all the big gears and milling wheels. Amazing views in all directions from the viewing platform whether you look up, out or down.
Buy cheeses and other Dutch ingredients and goodies or have a go at the games on the first level.
Well worth your time

An unexpected attraction! Only had a quick look around the shop which stocked many interesting delights. Will have to return for a proper tour.

An actual, working, HUGE windmill in a completely unexpected place!

Make a gold coin donation and climb up into the mill at the top of the structure. Ask nicely and you should be able to go out on the platform at the top.

Highly reccomended if you happen to pass through Foxton.

An excellent travel stop for kids: take a self-guided tour for only $2 per person. Very informative, and a treat to see wooden engineering in working condition. There are four levels to access (the stairs are very narrow and steep; almost ladders), including the balcony outside to see the blades up close. Also many delicious traditional foods available in the shop on the ground floor.

Fantastic windmill, great selection of flour, and great Dutch ingredients and goodies. Staff are really friendly.

Self-guided tour through a genuine Dutch windmill-very cool! You can also pick up Dutch goods on the bottom floor, and a Foxton Fizz (the town's own cola). Cute cafe next door with lots of food choices.
