Facts and practical information

The Korenbloem is a corn mill, located on the Molendijk 1 in the Dutch town of Kortgene. It is a round stone scaffold mill with five attics: grain, grinding, stone, lazy and cap attic. The racks are 6.28 m above ground level. The mill was built in 1873 to replace a burnt down octagonal ground sailor and has been milling on wind power until 1953. In 1972 the sails were removed and in 1977 the cap, after attempts to restore the mill failed. The wooden cap was covered with roofing leather. Since 2003, The Cornflower had new owners, who had drawn up an extensive restoration plan. In 2009, the mill was transferred to the Cornflower Mill Foundation. On October 1, 2011 the official opening took place, whereby the vang was lifted by Mr. Harry van Waveren, former deputy of the Provincial States of Zeeland.
