"Flour mill ’t Slot"

On top of the ‘Punt’ flour mill ’t Slot’ proudly watches over the river. A permit was granted in 1581 by the city council to build a standerd mill at the remains and fundaments of the recently demolished castle of the Lords of Gouda (‘Heeren van Ter Gouw’). The current windmill is the third mill at this spot. Constructed in 1831/32 at the spot of an octahedral standerd mill that was destroyed by a fire. In 1962 this mill came into the city’s ownership. It was restored and is ready for production but not operational. When the sails are rolling the mill is open for visitors. For the entrance walk around the mill from the left.

Go to the left and descend the stairs into the park ‘Houtmansplantsoen’. Don’t forget to turn around and have a last view on this beautiful mill and houses next to it. Keep to the left and go to the exit of the park across the small bridge into the ‘Spieringstraat’. Continue the walk up to the second part of the street until you arrive at the ‘Willem Vroesenhuis’ only just at the opposite of the small alley to the St. John’s church, take a left on to the ‘Molenwerf’.
