Because Brouwershaven's mill is on the town's ramparts, you can see it from afar. Built in 1724, grain was still ground here until 1954. Restoration began a few years later and found traces of an old mill that stood on the same spot. The last restoration took place in the 1960s by the millwright J. van den Hamer. So the little mill “windlust” has apparently been good publicity! Of course, this mill also has a name. Which one is that? You can find that on the cap of the mill. Question 4: On which dike is this mill located? Write down the last letter.
Local farmers used to let their cattle graze in this area. The lord of Haamstede Castle paid them for this. By kicking their hooves and grazing, you got a lot of different plants in the landscape. From the 1960s, farmers focused on tourists and the grazers disappeared. The dune grasslands became quite overgrown, but with many of the same plants and trees. Then the rabbits also got sick, so they too disappeared from the dunes. Lots of the same plants, means fewer animals. A big problem that had to be solved. Imagine you are a protector of the Sea Dunes. How would you solve it?
