This is Veere's mill, called 'De Koe' (The Cow). The mill was built on top of a dyke to catch more wind. In the past the dyke and moat functioned as part of the fortification of Veere. The soil for the dyke was simply obtained by digging the moat. When the moat is frozen in wintertime, it can be used by the people of Veere for skating. This winter, however, whas that mild that the skates could stay in the store-room.
