Drainage Mill "De Oostzijdse Molen"

Netherlands, along the river Het Gein near Abcoude, Febr. 1968

This picture was taken with our first camera and our first colour film.

The mill "De Oostzijdse Molen" dates back to 1874 when it replaced a much older mill from 1486.
In 2009 the mill was fully restored and can again be used as a drainage mill.
It became well known because in the period 1902-1908 the Dutch painter
Piet Mondriaan painted the mill more than 20 times.
