Facts and practical information

The Jan van Cuijk is a round brick bell tower corn mill in the Dutch village of Sint Agatha. It was built in 1860 as a grain and bark mill commissioned by Vincent van Riet. The mill is named after Jan I van Cuijk, lord of the Land of Cuijk and friend of King Edward I of England and of the Duke of Brabant. At the outbreak of the Second World War, the mill was damaged and during the liberation in 1944 it was hit by several shells. In 1942, the belt was excavated and replaced by a warehouse. At the end of the 1950s, permission for demolition was granted, but it never came to that. However, an electric grinding shop was started in the mill. In 1971, the Jan van Cuijk was sold to the municipality.

The windvane gear has been equipped with the van Bussel system on both rods since 1942 and with brake valves since 1945. The mill is equipped with 1 pair of 16der artificial stones. The Jan van Cuijk is regularly operated by volunteer millers on Saturdays.

The mill has the status of a national monument.
