De Olde Molen (/də ˈoʊld ˈmoʊlən/ duh OLD-uh MOH-luhn), also known as Old Dutch Windmill, The Mill, or Alte Mühle is a non-operational octagonal smock mill with a stage (elevated platform) reconstructed in 1961[2] in Bubali, Aruba. Since then, it has been serving as a restaurant and a windmill museum.[3][4]
Originally, this windmill has undergone various relocations and transformations within the province of the Netherlands, Groningen, before arriving at its present location.
