Weltermolen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Weltermolen (literally Weltermill) is a watermill located in Welten, Heerlen in the Netherlands. It is fed by the Geleenbeek, with some extra force created by a largely man-made pond (the Weltervijver).
The mill was already mentioned in the 14th century and it has a strong connection with Huis Strijthagen (or Huis Strijthagen tot Welten).
The present day mill consists of a long shaped part of one floor under a Mansard roof, a tower and the mill. The mansard roof has a weather vane shaped like a carp.
The mill was restored in 1982 and is open to the public on milling days.
This watermill is one of several located in the Geleenbeek stream.
