Facts and practical information

De Zwaan is a corn mill in Voorst in the Dutch province of Gelderland.

The mill was built in 1904 next to an already existing steam mill. For the construction a demolished mill from the Groningse Uithuizen was used. In 1967 the mill was restored. In 1986 the mill became the property of the Stichting Molen De Zwaan. Between 1989 and 1991 the mill was restored after which it is regularly operated by volunteer millers.

The mill's rods have a length of 22.50 meters and are equipped with the Van Bussels system, on the inner rod in combination with Ten Have valves. The interior consists of one pair of grinding stones.
