The mill is set up as a pumping station, which is shown, among other things, by the stairs from the mill to the stone attic, which is located between the two swarms of grinding and the grinding channels that approach the hatch. Small quantities were often ground in a farmer's mill, where the farmer waited until the grain was ground and then immediately took the flour. The grain was broken on one grinder and the crushed grain was ground into flour on the other.

If you drive from the west to the east, the road rises very slightly false flat. This road is a good alternative to the somewhat busier parallel road on the other side of the railway, but if you want to go to Renswoude (or come from that direction) the Oude Holleweg is just a bit nicer

Den Olden Florus Windmill

Highlight • Monument

The Olden Florus or Kallenbroeker Mole is one of the oldest still existing standard mills in the Netherlands and is located at the Stoutenburgerwei 20 in Terschuur. Exactly how old the mill is is unknown. It is certain, however, that this was already there before 1584. Thus the mill appeared in the goods of the Court of Callebroeck already in 1403 and in 1495 the mill appeared in the archives of the Johanniter Order.

Until 1975 the mill was known as the Kallenbroeker Mole, but has since been renamed Den Olden Florus as a tribute to the then owner Flores Mulder.

The Den Olden Florus is a closed standard grain mill with an old tail construction. The standard has been open in the past. It is a so-called ground silo: the tips of the wings go almost over the ground, they can be weeded from the ground and the sails can be attached to the wings from the ground.
