De Eendragt, Weesp

The Eendragt is a windmill built in 1691 as a malt mill on the Utrechtseweg 13, along the Utrechtse Vecht in the Dutch municipality of Weesp.

The mill is an octagonal corn mill of the rack mill type with a stone substructure and a wooden, thatched superstructure. Around 1807 the mill was converted to a shell sand mill and in 1815 the Eendragt was converted to a saw mill. From 1920 sawing was also done on motor power and in 1932 sawing on the wind was stopped. After this the Eendragt fell into disrepair. In 1950, the municipality of Weesp bought the mill and sold it two years later to a private person with the obligation to restore the exterior of the mill, which was done. The mill was completely converted into a home, whereby a number of characteristic features were lost. Since 1977 the mill has been spinning occasionally again. Of the working mechanism only the upper wheel remains; the rest has been removed. The wheelwork for windrowing the sails consists of wooden rollers.

Right next to the Eendragt is the corn mill De Vriendschap.

The Eendragt is inhabited and cannot be visited.
