The Hompesche mill: the tallest tower mill in Limburg

The Hompesche mill is a 300-year-old national monument and has a rich history. Count Reinaert Vincent van Hompesch had the mill built in 1721-1722. At the time, a mill with six floors and a height of 37 metres was a large structure. The flight of the sails is 25 metres. In 2014, the mill was transferred to Natuurmonumenten. Together with the Maasgouw municipality, the milling equipment and mill buildings were renovated in 2015.

During the tour, it is explained, among other things, that renewable energy was already widely used in the past and that the term "Waste does not exist" also existed back then.

The lecture on the mill will be given by Mr Dirk Teeken . The guided tour by the experienced millers, Mr Geert Wiermans and ing. Mark Schoenmakers.
