De Vlinder, Deil

De Vlinder (English: The Butterfly) is a tower mill in Deil, Gelderland, Netherlands which was built in 1913 and has been restored to working order.

[1] To replace it, a tower mill was built, named De Haas (English: The Hare).

[3] The tower had to be shortened by 1.5 metres (5 ft) to accommodate the machinery from the Molen van Fikse.

[4] In 1951, De Vlinder was sold to the Stichting Behoud Korenmolen Deil.

This drives a pair of 1.40 metres (4 ft 7 in) diameter Cullen millstones and a pair of 1.40 metres (4 ft 7 in) diameter French Burr stones via lantern pinion stone nuts with 20 staves each.
