Molen De Koker
The history of flour mill De Koker dates back to 1592. Together with other mills, it ground the flour for ship's rusks and for the starch used to keep lace collars in shape. The ship's rusk was eaten on board the ships of the VOC and WIC. Until the end of the 19th century, the mill was supplied with grain by means of a boat that sailed right up to the mill. De Koker is the only remaining flour mill that made the flour for ship rusks.
In the 19th century, the mill burned and was struck by lightning after being rebuilt. Thanks to a flour mill from Graft, De Koker could be rebuilt again. In 1928, the mill fell into disuse before being added to the property of vereniging De Zaansche Molen in 1944 in a deplorable state, which restored the mill and manages it to this day.
