Somewhere different

Staying at a windmill

A night at a mill is not a night in a holiday house. This is what you notice once the door closes behind you.

Thick walls, different sound

The barn and the mill base were built to carry weight and wind. The walls are thick, street noise falls away, and what you hear at night comes from beyond the village: wind, birds, and sometimes the sails.

Waking up under the gallery

The octagonal gallery runs round the mill like a ring above the accommodation. You step outside in the morning with the monument directly above you and watch the day start over the flat Meuse country.

Because the mill still grinds, this is not scenery. When it turns, you hear it — which is exactly why people come.

Sleeping without stairs

The accommodation is entirely on one level: all bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces are on the ground floor, with no stairs. You step from your room straight into the living space or the garden, which makes a real difference at night with children or with limited mobility.

The monument stays in view

Brickwork, beams and mill timber remained what they were. The stay was built between them, not over them, so you live inside the monument without the monument having to give way.
