Facts and practical information

Pelmolen Ter Horst is an oil and peel mill in Rijssen in the Dutch province of Overijssel.

The mill was built in 1752, probably using an octagon from a windmill in the Beemster. The mill was operated by wind power until 1913. For decades the mill stood there as a ruin. Only in 1973 was an extensive restoration begun that lasted until 1975. Today the mill is owned by the 'Stichting Pelmolen Ter Horst'.

The cap and the octagon are covered with oak shales. The cast-iron, 6,61 m long topshaft, cast in 1869, is from the iron foundry De Prins van Oranje in 's Hage and has the number 636. The mill is caught with a strut catch. The mechanism for hoisting the grain is a cam mechanism. The Brunia rods of 22.00 meters long are equipped with old Dutch fencing with sails. They were replaced in December 2015 with divisible rods from Vaags. Wind-powered oil is regularly beaten by volunteer millers, and occasionally the mill husks barley into groats.

The mill is equipped with a complete peeling mill with two pairs of peeling stones, a sifting and impeller mill and a complete oil mill. The oil mill has two pairs of edging stones. The main mill has two fists and a fore-and-aft mill. The auxiliary mill has slightly smaller edging stones than the main mill and is driven by a shaft driven by the roller shaft that is in line with the roller shaft to the extension at the side of the octagon.
