🌀 Ceres, Bovenkarspel

Ceres is an octagonal smock mill in Bovenkarspel, Netherlands. It was built in 1849 as a corn mill, using structural parts from a 17th-century oil mill. The mill’s wooden frame was originally part of De Oude Haas, an oil mill from Zaandijk. Initially called De Haas, the mill was renamed Ceres in 1908 after a local agricultural cooperative of that name purchased it.
