windmill "Oog In `t Zeil" - Cothen - The Netherlands - Windmills on Waymarking.com

This mill was built in 1869 and fully restored in 1986 (these two years happen to be anagrams!).

from 1904 machines were used to assist when there was not enough wind: initially a steam engine, around 1930 an electric motor.

In 1985 sparks during welding set the mill on fire and the interior was completely burnt, but insurance payouts enabled the full restoration of the upper parts.

The mill houses a shop to sell the products produced here.
