Along the watermills in the Kempen

On this route, picturesque green villages alternate with the bustling city centre and suburbs of Eindhoven. In three of these villages, you will see beautiful watermills. The first mill you pass is the Volmolen in Waalre. The originally medieval mill was destroyed by a storm in 1962. Nowadays, the rebuilt mill is used to generate electricity. The Venbergse Molen is a watermill on the Dommel, just like the Volmolen. The first mention dates from 1227, when the mill was owned by a sister order. The Stevertse Molen is an undershot watermill on a bridge over the Run. The mill was destroyed in 1702 by the Spanish and French during the Spanish Succession War, but was rebuilt afterwards.
