Facts and practical information

De Ster is a corn and flour mill in Winsum, Groningen.

The octagonal overhead windmill dating from 1851 stands on a mill hill in the village center of Winsum. On this location there was already a standerd mill in 1628. De Ster' was in professional use until the 1980s and after a major restoration in the 1990s regularly runs on a voluntary basis. Currently, the mill is not grinding, but the sails do go round several times a month. In late 2008, a number of parts of the mill were replaced and the outer rod was fitted with new self-balancing valves. The mill is owned by the Molenstichting Winsum.
