with a sail cross and a waterwheel
This unique combination of a water-powered grain mill and a water-powered oil mill cannot be found anywhere else in Europe. In the 13th century, De Kilsdonkse Molen was a key hub in the local economy. The mill was indispensable to farmers, bakers, and brewers for carrying out their trades. For local residents, the mill was an unmissable landmark.
WATER ESCAPE
Glide quietly along the Aa through the beautiful cultural landscape. A trip between the Kilsdonkse Molen and the castle. The electric boat, the Watervlucht, is available for booking from April 1 to November 1. That’s when cruising is especially pleasant. Depart from the Kilsdonkse Molen or Heeswijk Castle. On board, a skipper and guide will be there to tell you all about the Kilsdonkse Molen, the area around the Aa River, and Heeswijk Castle. Enjoy the trip with a group, or privately with friends, family, or colleagues.
