De Geregtigheid Mill
Highlight • Monument
Here for centuries successive millers ground the grain for the bakers in the area.
Fires have broken out several times over the years. Halfway through the last century, a fire broke out again and the then owner decided to leave the mill out of use.
The mill then came into the hands of the municipality of Katwijk. The Municipality of Katwijk recognized the historic value of the mill and ordered its restoration.
After the repair work had been completed, miller Bouma was appointed as manager and the mill could be put back into use.
His son Jack has been the miller for many years now.
The mill can be visited by appointment. You can also buy flour, baking mixes and sometimes homemade bread and cakes.
The mill has the status of a national monument.
