Molen de Roos (Rose Windmill), Delft

Another famous landmark of the city is Windmill ‘de Roos”- the last standing mill out of the total of fifteen to have dominated Delft in the medieval era. The windmill is a traditional symbol of Holland, marking the historical importance of its countryside. The 14th century windmill was replaced by much higher stone constructions in the 18th century. In 1990s the mill was thoroughly restored and today is open for public viewing.
