Molen De Paauw: a Saturday inside the windmill

Molen De Paauw in Nauerna near Assendelft opens to the public on Saturdays. A guided tour and exhibition give you the chance to see the building up close.

Plan your visit ↗

More than the outside view

From outside, a windmill stands out for its shape, but inside other questions arise. Notice the connection between construction and operation, and ask which parts you are looking at. A guide can help you place details within the whole.

Looking with a guide

The guided tour and exhibition offer a way in without your needing to know about mill technology beforehand. For a given part, ask what it does and why it is there. Not every mill activity is possible at every visiting time; follow the instructions on site.

The way to Nauerna

There is no parking at the mill itself. Plan your route and use the options indicated on the dike. Groups or a visit on another day require prior arrangement, and separate charges may apply.

Before you go

Check for any Saturday changes and bear in mind that parking is outside the mill grounds.
