Almost every traditional windmill in the Netherlands (aka Holland) has its own name. This one on the seafront in Flushing, Zeeland is called 'Oranjemolen' (Orange Mill). It has nothing to do with its color. The mill was given its name because it was bordering the gardens of a now vanished palace of the Prince of Orange. It's the only mill in the Netherlands on a seafront. It was built around 1650 and in 1968 the mill was refurbished. It's grinding up till now.
