History

An unnamed smock mill was built here in 1834. It drove two pairs of 1.40 metres (4 ft 7 in) diameter millstones.[2] The mill was probably built for Philips Schlecht. As built, it was a "grondzeiler", lacking the brick base it later stood on. The base was built in the late nineteenth century. An electric motor was used as auxiliary power from 1919. A sailstock broke c1925.[3] The mill machinery was dismantled c1927. The mill was demolished c1958, leaving the base standing.[2]

In 1985, the mill was bought by Mr Mars, who decided to restore the mill back to working order. The drainage mill De Zwarte Haan, which stood by De Bildtse Polder, was purchased and dismantled in April 1997. In November 1997 the mill was re-erected at De Blesse. In June 1999, a new cap was placed on the mill. This had previously been on a mill at Neustadtgödens-Wedelfeld, Germany.[3] The brake wheel from the windmill Olle Widde, Ten Post, Groningen was incorporated into the rebuild.[4] The mill was officially opened on 8 September 2000 and named De Mars.[3]

Description

De Mars is what the Dutch describe as a "stellingmolen". It is a three storey smock mill on a three storey base. The stage is at third floor level, 5.85 metres (19 ft 2 in) above ground level. The smock and cap are thatched. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The four Common sails, which have a span of 18.20 metres (59 ft 9 in), are carried in a cast iron windshaft which was cast by Gieterij Hardinxveld in 1998. The mill drives a single pair of 1.30 metres (4 ft 3 in) diameter millstones. [1]
