Oranjemolen Vlissingen Anno 1699

Windmill `` Orange``
The history of this windmill goes back till 1699. There are descriptions of a windmill on this place from that time. Like all windmills also this one have been many times destroyed and rebuild. Last time in 2003.
This windmill is build close to the sea. In fact , the closed of all in our country . It stand on the dike near the entrance of the harbour of Vlissingen on the estuary of the river Scheldt into the North Sea.
Great capture of this beautiful windmill and the interesting history behind it.
