Mill "Den Olden Florus"
Visit the mill and learn about it’s technique.
“Den Olden Florus" is a mill, which can be counted among one of the oldest mill types. This is particularly evident in the construction of the so-called tail.
Formerly the mill was called "Callen Broecker mill", because it is situated in the hamlet Kalle Broek. The name Kalle Broek is presumably derived from the fact that a water (Brook) was located there. And the water was always cooler (Kalt) than at other places.
Shop
Every Saturday you are welcome in the shop between 10:00 and 15:00h. The shop is located on the ground floor of the mill. Come and taste the products and enjoy the authentic atmosphere.

The water board uses the dam in the Kromme Rijn in Cothen to regulate the flow of water to and from Utrecht. The monumental lock alongside it (from 1865) was used during wartime to move ships past the dam. When the Waterline needed to be flooded, the commander of the inundation station at Wijk bij Duurstede first gave the order to raise the water level in the Kromme Rijn by closing off the lock with stop logs. Next, he ordered the stop logs to be removed so that a large body of water could flow from the open lock to Utrecht.
