Jacobus Mill, Vessem

Highlight • Monument

The original mill dates from 1837 and was an octagonal grain and oil mill, built by Jacobus Peeters between Vessem and Wintelre at the current sports park of VV Vessem. This burnt down in 1893 and the current Jacobus mill dates from that year. It is a round stone bell grist mill.

Venbergse Watermill

Highlight • Monument

The Venbergse Watermolen is located below Valkenswaard on the river Dommel. This mill was previously used as an oil mill, bark mill and grain mill and is one of the oldest mills in the Netherlands.

The Venberg water mill was a forbidden mill. The inhabitants of the surrounding areas had to have their grain milled here. The history of the mill goes back about a thousand years. In 1227 the mill is mentioned in a document from Duke Henry I of Brabant. In the following centuries the mill changed hands many times. In 1740 the mill and the associated land were sold publicly. The Venbergse Hoeve was one of the most profitable farms in the area at the time.

Right next to the mill there is also a starting point for canoe trips on the Dommel.
