In mid-April, you can see a true spectacle of colors here with blooming rapeseed along the roadsides and the white blossoms of apple trees behind them.

Over De Vlinder At the location where this mill stands, there was previously a wipkorenmolen (a type of Dutch windmill). This was destroyed by fire in 1913. The miller at the time, G.J. de Heus, then had a tall, round stone stellingkorenmolen (a type of Dutch windmill) built, which he named “De Haas”. This Haas was not destined for a long life, as in March 1931 it too burned down as a result of a storm. In the same year, the mill was rebuilt, using parts from, among others, the mill of Fikse in Heukelum, which was just being demolished.
