Renovation and restoration of national monument (water mill) in South Limburg

After a restoration in 1978 by architect Mans Hofhuis and construction company Gubbels, in 2005 it was time for an update of the original restoration of the main building (1773), and all annexes (which are also part of the national monument) were also renovated. In the main building, among other things, the plumbing was renewed, all pipes renewed, the entire building was fitted with underfloor heating and a large number of energy-saving measures were taken. Such as new central heating boilers fitted with solar boilers.
All rainwater drains and gutters were also renewed, as well as a number of window frames and windows. The largest outbuilding, the huge 19th-century brick barn, was restored for the first time in its history. A number of rafters and columns had to be renewed. Structural changes repaired. A completely new roof boarding, battens, battening and partly new tiles. All stable doors remade with the original detailing and the hardware reused as much as possible. At the back, where a lot of rebuilding had been done, the original situation was restored as much as possible and a later extension was rebuilt. All in old field firebrick and re-jointed in the traditional way. The barn, built for dairy cattle, now serves as a stable for horses.
