Molen Welgelegen

Heerenveen

In the centre of Heerenveen stands the historic Welgelegen windmill, also known as Tjepkema’s molen, a name that refers to one of its former owners.

Dating back to 1849, the windmill was fully restored a few years ago. Its tall gallery allows the octagonal mill to rise above the surrounding buildings.

The mill is used to grind grain. Every Saturday morning, volunteers set the mill to work. You can visit the mill while it is running, and the mill shop downstairs is open too. Here you can buy flour ground at the mill and a selection of other traditional products.
