Ceres
Stede Broec, Netherlands · built 1848
Ceres is an octagonal smock mill in Bovenkarspel, Netherlands. It was built in 1849 as a corn mill, using structural parts from a 17th-century oil mill. The mill’s wooden frame was originally part of De Oude Haas, an oil mill from Zaandijk. Initially called De Haas (the hare), the mill was renamed Ceres in 1908 after a local agricultural cooperative of that name purchased it. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 34497. The mill remains in working order as a gristmill operated by volunteer millers, and after suffering severe fire damage in 2019 it was fully restored and officially reopened in 2022.
