Nederland - Wijk bij Duurstede, ‘Rijn en Lek’

Nederland - Wijk bij Duurstede, ‘Rijn en Lek’
Windmill ‘Rijn en Lek’ is dating back to 1659, when it was built on top of the - only remaining - medieval city gate of the town, the Leuterpoort. In the beginning it was used as a bark mill, but around 1820 it became a flourmill, which it still is. The mill stands proudly above the gate on the dike and is the only mill in the Netherlands on top of a city gate.

The ‘Rijn en Lek’ is often confused with the windmill painted by Ruisdael, called ‘The windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede’, which stood a few blocks away.

The mill got its name ‘Rijn en Lek’ due to the fact that the river Rhine changes it name into Lek River downstream from Wijk bij Duurstede.

Such odd surrounding for a windmill Jaap.........especially with a road running underneath it and sitting on the end of what seems to be residential housing.

A fascinating series and narrative. Each image is beautifully captured..!!

An interesting photographic and historical report, well deserved by this venerable mill.
The change of name of the Rhine is semi-surprising (given the countries it flows through) and adds to the singularity of this beautiful mill.
