De Witte Molen is located on the banks of the canal North Willems. This Mill uses the water current and also the 4 big canvas sails which are operated manually. Built in 1892 has been remodeled few times there after. In about 2003, this was dismantled and reconstructed with new sails and wings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/de_witte_molen_2010_03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-512 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/de_witte_molen_2010_03-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/de_witte_molen_2010_03-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/de_witte_molen_2010_03.jpg 989w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/admgallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=851\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-515\" title=\"de_witte_molen_2010\" src=\"https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/de_witte_molen_2010_01-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/admgallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=848\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-516\" title=\"de_witte_molen_2010\" src=\"https:\/\/pradeepshankar.net\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/de_witte_molen_2010_04-219x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most of the Molens are owned and maintained by individuals.
