De Eenhoorn, Haarlem

De Eenhoorn (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈʔeːnɦoːr(ə)n]; English: The Unicorn) is a paltrok mill in Haarlem, Netherlands which has been restored to working order.

The end of its working years came when an electric-powered sawmill was built in 1924, making the old windmill superfluous.

The mill was restored and for a few years rented back to millers, though these mostly used the electric sawmill.

The foundation restored and owned the windmill until its dissolution in 1957 and the mill returned to De Hollandse Molen who in turn sold it to municipally Haarlem in 1963.

[3] De Eenhoorn is a Dutch paltrok mill - a wooden mill supported on a short central post and a ring of wooden rollers on a low brick base and designed specifically for sawing wood.

The rearmost sawing frame was later removed and replaced by a reciprocating weight to keep the mechanism balanced.
