Staying overnight in a mill

Of the many tens of thousands of windmills that stood in the Netherlands some 100 years ago, just over 1,200 remain today. The windmills were used some 100 years ago for cutting wood, grinding grain and controlling water levels, among other things. The mills have since lost their function and are now mainly used to show tourists from home and abroad how mills used to work in the Netherlands. However, some of the remaining mills have been converted into unique places to spend the night. Sleeping in a mill is really very special. The mills are often in beautiful places and the centuries-old wooden constructions make you immediately realize that the accommodation has a lot of history. At Vipio you can also book an overnight stay in a Mill. Check out the most beautiful mills to spend the night at Vipio below.
