A small spice mill at the quiet end of the village, and the cheapest way to see a mill working from the inside.
This one grinds mustard seed and spice rather than pigment or timber, and it is a fraction of the size of its neighbours, which is why it takes a quarter of an hour rather than an afternoon. Buy a pot of the mustard at the counter; it is a better souvenir than anything in the gift shops along the dike. Our Zaanse Schans guide records it as the one mill you can step into without buying a ticket, though the mill association also publishes a single-mill price, so check what is being asked at the door.
Highlights
- Mustard ground on the premises
- A fifteen-minute stop
- Quieter end of the village
