Dutch windmills on stamps

The Hague – Ten millers, the patron of mill Rhine and Lek and also the mayor of Wijk bij Duurstede received the first issue of a stamp sheetlet from Annerie Lekkerkerker, director of the PostNL department Consumers and Small Businesses. Each miller also received a stamp with his own windmill on it. The event took place at one of the mills on the stamps: Molen Rijn and Lek, in Wijk bij Duurstede. The stamp sheetlet contains ten different mill types from all over the Netherlands. The oldest one, the Grafelijke Torenmolen in Zeddam, dates back to around 1450 and the youngest one is the Hiemertermole in Burgwerd, which is a rebuilt windmill from 1975. The stamp sheetlet was created in close collaboration with De Hollandsche Molen. This national association is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year.
