De Molen is a full size 17th century replica Windmill. Visitors can tour the upper levels and see the inner workings of a Dutch flour mill. A visit to de Molen is a totally unique experience and a must do if you're passing through Foxton.
For a small donation you can take a self-guided tour of the upper levels and see the working parts of our flour mill. Group visits and guided tours are welcomed by prior arrangement.
The ground floor of de Molen is home to The Dutch Market. Here you can purchase our stone ground flour, milled right here in de Molen, along with yummy imported Dutch groceries including licorice, Dutch cheeses, croquettes plus much more. We also have a selection of de Molen, Dutch and NZ souvenirs. De Molen is non profit and part of The Foxton Windmill Trust Inc.
We also operate Cafe de Molen, serving, a fusion of Dutch/Kiwi cuisine, right next to de Molen.
