Oil, paint and cocoa: mill De Zoeker has made all of these at some time.

Oil mill De Zoeker has stood at this location at the Zaansche Schans since 1968. It is estimated that the mill was built in 1610, as a polder mill. In 1672 it stood in Zaandijk as an oil mill. In 1891 the mill was converted into a paint mill, to be reconverted into an oil mill 10 years later. Around 1940, the dilapidated mill was nearly defunct. Fortunately, the municipality of Zaandijk acquired the mill in the 1950s. In 1958 De Zoeker turned again as… an oil mill! Its relocation was spectacular: the top part, weighing 18  tons, was moved in one piece. During the transport the mill was hoisted over, among other things, the overhead lines of a railway. After that it travelled by boat to the eastern bank of the Zaan. What a move for such an old mill!
