De Anermolen

The Anermolen was built in Ane in 1864 as a flour mill. It is a belt mill with a belt of 3.50 meters high, which farmers could easily drive under with their carts to unload corn and load flour. The mill was built as a replacement for a mill that was in a bad condition. The mill has had several owners over the centuries, but the mill was not always well cared for. In 1934 one of the rods of the mill broke off and a little later the mill was dismantled. In 1978 the municipality of Gramsbergen bought the mill to ensure that the only remaining mill in the municipality was preserved. In 1981 a large-scale restoration took place in that context. In 2002 the mill was given new grinding stones, which even makes it possible to grind animal feed again. Grain is also ground in this mill on a voluntary basis.
