Bronkhorstermolen, Steenderen

Bronkhorstermolen is a tower mill in Steenderen, Gelderland, Netherlands which was built in 1844 and has been restored to working order.

The mill, and its successor, were to remain in the Breukink family until the late 20th century.

The mill was the first in the Netherlands to be fitted with a counter on its windshaft to enable it to receive a grant from the Dutch Government according to the number of times the sails rotated.

It is a three-storey tower mill built into a cast mound which is 3.30 metres (10 ft 10 in) high.

At the bottom of the upright shaft is the great spur wheel, which has 72 cogs.

This drives a pair of 1.40 metres (4 ft 7 in) Cullen millstones and a pair of 1.40 metres (4 ft 7 in) French Burr stones via lantern pinion stone nuts with 22 staves each.
