Grain and flour, wind and fire in Gierle

Our daily bread, we just don't think about it anymore. Once it was different. Grain was grown, harvested, threshed, and milled locally. Mill "In Stormen Sterk" was the meeting point for... milling. It is still there, proud. Millers will show you how it works. When there is wind , the sails turn, and with strong wind, the entire mechanism works and milling takes place. Nearby in Bakehouse "Vollenbak", bakers provide delicious bread from the wood-fired oven . Built by themselves, by the way, a masterpiece . It used to be a weekly activity too. Do you know the smell of freshly baked bread? Curious? Come and take a look! Besides bread, there is usually another tasty sample coming out of the oven. Everyone is welcome!! How to reserve bread and the latest news: see our Facebook.
