Benninkmolen is a smock mill in Doetinchem, Gelderland, Netherlands which was built in 1921 and has been restored to working order. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument.
History
editIn 1856, a tower mill was built for B Vels. It was named the Velsmolen. The mill was demolished in 1920 due to its poor condition.[1] The mill was replaced by a smock mill, which used the smock of the Buursinkmolen, Zelhem, Gelderland and machinery from various mills. It had a pair of Patent sails and a pair of Common sails. On 10 August 1925, the mill was severely damaged in a storm. Most of the shutters of the Patent sails were lost, with some of them being found 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away. The mill was not repaired, and was used by the local fire brigade for training exercises.[2]
In 1976, the mill was sold to the Gemeente Doetinchem. The mill was restored in 1980. Its name was changed from Velsmolen to Benninkmolen, after its first owner, J F Bennink. On restoration, the Patent sails were replaced by Common sails. Benninkmolen is listed as a Rijksmonument, № 13087.
Description
editThe mill is what the Dutch describe as a "Standerdmolen". It is a post mill with a single storey octagonal roundhouse. The roof of the mill is covered in dakleer. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The sails are Common sails. They have a span of 22.50 metres (73 ft 10 in). The sails are carried on a cast iron windshaft, which was cast by Alsmulder of Utrecht.[2] The windshaft also carries the wooden brake wheel which has teeth on the front and rear faces. The front face of the brake wheel has 65 teeth. It drives a pair of 1.60 metres (5 ft 3 in) diameter Cullen millstones via a lantern pinion stone nut which has 12 staves. The rear face of the brake wheel has 59 teeth. It drives a pair of 1.50 metres (4 ft 11 in) French Burr millstones via a lantern pinion stone nut which has 11 staves. With this arrangement, the millstones are driven in opposite directions.[2]
Benninkmolen is what the Dutch call a "Stellingmolen". It is a two storey smock mill on a single store base. There is a stage, which is 3.020 metres (9 ft 10.9 in) above ground level. The smock and cap are covered in shingles. Winding is by tailpole and winch. The sails are Common sails. They have a span of 23.10 metres (75 ft 9 in). They are carried on a cast iron windshaft. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel, which has 51 cogs. This drives a wallower with 28 cogs, which is situated at the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft is the great spur wheel, which has 80 cogs. This drives two pairs of 1.40 metres (4 ft 7 in) diameter French Burr millstones via lantern pinion stone nuts with 24 staves each.[2]
