"Grain mill" Maastricht Things to Do Tip by jo104

We visited the 17th century Bisschopsmolen (Bishop's Mill) and the adjoining old-fashioned bakery at Stenen Brug (Stone Bridge), where the age-old traditions linking the farmer, the miller and the baker can be seen, smelt and even tasted.

Enjoy a sample of bread & see for yourself the process linking the farmer, the miller and the baker during the guided tour. The miller mills the ancient Kollenberger Spelt grain in the restored watermill, and the baker uses the resulting flour to bake the most delicious and healthy breads and cakes. Spelt was introduced into the Netherlands by Julius Caesar. A number of arable farmers in the region rediscovered this grain, and have now begun to cultivate it on the Limburg hills in an environmentally friendly way.
