Curious to find out more about our rich history in the textile industry?

Will you come grind the grain at one of our mills?
Visit the mills of Geldrop-Mierlo
In the middle of Mierlo’s centre stands Standerdmolen Mierlo, a true eye-catcher. A standerdmolen is a mill that rests, so to speak, on a mount. When the wind comes from a certain direction, the entire mill can be turned to fully catch the wind.
‘Het Nupke’ is the Brabant way of saying stud, button or bump. The ground where the mill was built in 1843 has a natural elevation to the rest of the landscape. A bump. That is probably the reason why the residents called it ‘Nupke’. It was only during the great restoration in 1979 that miller Wim Vlemmix gave the mill, a national monument, the name ’t Nupke.
