De Huisman, Zaandam

De Huisman, Zaandam

De Huisman is a small octagonal mill at the Zaanse Schans in the Zaanstad, and currently makes mustard.

'De Huisman' is located on the Zaanse Schanse since 1955, next to the warehouse 'De Haan'. The mill was probably built in 1786 on the Blue Path (now Rue Claude Monet) in Zaandam. The mill has functioned as a snuff mill (milling tobacco), a mustard mill, and a saw mill. At the Zaanse Schans the mill was converted again into a mustard mill, though it mills the mustard seeds in a modern, not-windoperated way. There are advanced plans for the mill back to traditional mustard and then also to give the public the opportunity to visit the mill. The mill is owned by the Vereniging De Zaansche Molen.
