Bernisse Windmill

The Bernisse Mill is a former mill in Geervliet ( municipality Nisse Waard) . Today it houses a restaurant in the mill , and although the two pairs of millstones at the mill are present, the mill does not grind . The Bernisse Mill was built on a former defense tower , the loopholes are still visible. Already in 1383 a mill was built on the city wall. The current stone mill dates from 1851 and was in operation until 1947 . In 1949 and in 1984, the Bernisse mill restored . The current owner has a large part of the mill in question at the restaurant established in the mill. The mill can be visited by appointment. The city wall , with the exception of the tower which Bernisse mill is built entirely disappeared.
