This is another oil windmill, but it has an art gallery inside where you may see impressive paintings and also more on the oil pressing mechanism, each one has some details to add to the process

There are a row of windmills here. They are really nice to see. The guide said that 95 percent are gone but it’s nice that they are saving the rest.

It was such a lovely place to visit and learn about some of holland's history. We also got to meet some of the workers of this mill. Its the last mill along the mill walkway. Its well known for producing oils.
