Molen ’t Slot (Mill on the Castle) is a corn mill. Molen ’t Slot stands near the old city centre in a very pretty spot along the Hollandse IJssel on the city rampart. The dark green painted beard with white trim reads: ’t Slot ANNO 1832. As early as 1581, the city council granted permission to build a corn mill at the site on the foundations of the castle of the Heeren van Ter Gouw, which had been demolished shortly before.

De Haestrechtse Molen is a polder mill and is still in full operation. He drains the Beneden Haastrecht polder, which is approximately 320 ha in size.
An attempt is made to make the dewatering at least 50% with the wind. If this is not possible due to too little or too much wind, an auxiliary pumping station can be used in the form of an electric motor.
