Facts and practical information

The Mill of Nijs is a corn mill located at Veldstraat 54 in Stramproy. It is a round brick belt mill, built in1903 by order of Michiel Kunnen. In 1921 the mill came into the hands of Jaques Nijs, who renovated it. From about 1960 the mill fell out of use and slowly began to show signs of decay. The municipality bought the Nijs Mill in 1974 and had it restored the following year. A new, major restoration is scheduled for 2009.

The Mill of Nijs has two couples of 17der stones with which grain is milled on a voluntary basis. The windshaft is made of wood and is fitted with a plug-in head. The mill is used as an instruction mill and can be visited on the third Wednesday afternoon of each month and on Saturday mornings in the even weeks.
