The Kloetinge mill (Oostmolen- East Mill) in misty weather. Kloetinge, Zuid-Beveland, Zeeland, the Netherlands
Wikipedia: The Kloetingse molen is a flour mill on the Kapelseweg just outside Kloetinge. The mill has been named 'Oostmolen' since September 14, 2013. Until then, he had no official name. It is a round brick tower mill from 1704 that has been whitewashed in Zeeland tradition. The mill is covered with roofing felt and has a pitch of meters. It is an iconic windmill that stands on an elevation in the landscape. In 1979 the mill was extensively restored by the then owner, who transferred the management of the mill in 1998 to a special foundation for the preservation of the mill. This Foundation for the Preservation of the Mill in Kloetinge immediately had the mill restored. Subsequently, the mill turned out to be in worse condition than expected, and the municipality of Goes decided in 2006 to buy the mill and then transfer it to the foundation. The transfer to the foundation took place on September 12, 2008. The stairs in the mill were renovated by volunteers. After the transfer, the mill could also be whitewashed and the Wielekruis was painted in 2018.
