Facts and practical information

The Laren Mill or De Korenmolen is an eight-sided indoorkruier corn mill in Laren. Originally, the mill was an outdoor weir. The top table element is connected by block bars.

The present mill was built in 1773, and may have been a displaced polder mill. During a severe storm in 1910, one of the wooden rods broke off, preventing wind-powered milling, and a suction gas engine was installed in a small building near the mill, which drove the stones in the mill at ground level through a tube. The suction gas engine was replaced by an electric motor in the First World War. In 1920, the then already neglected mill came to a standstill. In 1926 the mill was restored again, after an action supported by the local citizenry. There were also restorations in 1939 and 1962.

Eventually, in 1988, the sails were removed because they were too bad, but in 1998 the mill had another major restoration and was restored to grinding capability.

The mill has a pair of 16der artificial stones in the stone loft and a pair of 17der artificial stones on the first floor. In addition, there is a brush machine, hammer mill and Jacob's ladder.
