Kyck over den Dyck, Dordrecht
Facts and practical information
Kyck over den Dyck is a mill on the Noordendijk in the city of Dordrecht, in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is the only preserved mill in that city. The original mill was built in 1612 and was a wooden standerd corn mill. This mill milled malt, which served as a raw material for the Dordt beer brewers. In 1713, the small standerd mill was replaced by the current stone post mill.
Since 1739 the mill was switched to grinding corn. In 1871, the mill was hit by a whirlwind that broke off both rods and shaft and damaged the scaffolding.
Gemeente Dordrecht owned the mill from 1952 to 1997. Since then, the mill has been owned by the Molen Kyck over den Dyck Foundation, and from 1999 to 2001, it was restored to its grinding capacity, and then operated thanks to a circle of volunteers.
