De Zwaluw (English: ''The Swallow'') is a smock mill in Burdaard, Friesland, Netherlands which is working commercially. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 15585.〔 (Click on "Technische gegevens" to view.)〕 ==History== The first mill on this site was a smock mill called ''De Windlust'' (English: ''The desire for wind'') which was built for Douwe Dirks Drukker of Burum in 1841.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The mill "De Zwaluw", Birdaard ) (Click on "History" to view.)〕 This was a corn mill which stood west of the present mill.〔 Drukker sold the mill on 25 April 1851 to Klaas Freerks Steenhuizen for ƒ6,000.〔 ''De Windlust'' was burnt down on 15 September 1874.〔(Click on Burdaard/ Birdaard, De Windlust (verdwenen) ) under Interne Verwijzing(en) 〕 ''De Zwaluw'' was built as a corn and pearl barley mill to replace it. The millwright was G R van Wieren of Smitshuis. ''De Zwaluw'' was built for Klaas Steenhuizen. Between 1875 and 1878, the base of a paltrok mill was placed alongside ''De Zwaluw'' and driven by the mill. Steenhuizen had four sons, two of which worked the mill. Paulus worked in the pearl barley mill and Jan worked the sawmill. ''De Zwaluw'' was built with Patent sails, one of the first mills in the north of the Netherlands so equipped.〔 After the death of his father, Paulus Steenhuizen moved into the mill house with his wife Berber Bosma. They had two daughters, Janke and Reinje. Janke helped her father in the mill. She married Anne Hessel de Groot, who took over the mill after the death of Paulus Steenhuizen on 26 March 1936.〔 In 1954, the mill lost a pair of sails. It worked by wind in this condition until 1960.〔 The mill was worked in its latter years by Anne Hessel de Groot and Tjebbe Overzet until the death of Anne Hessel de Groot on 8 April 1966. The mill was listed as a Rijksmonument in 1971.〔 On 11 November 1972, the mill was struck by lightning and burnt down, leaving the base and saw mill standing. Tjebbe Overzet died in 1974. The mill is now in the ownership of the Gemeente Ferwerderadiel.〔 Restoration by Fabrikaat Buurma of Oudeschans, Groningen was started in 1984 and completed in 1987. When first restored, the mill had two Common sails and two Patent sails,〔 but it now carries four Patent sails. When the mill was first restored it was only as a landmark. Much of the equipment for milling was missing. Miller Jan Tollenaar finally got ''De Zwaluw'' restored as a working windmill in October 1988. At first, trade was rather slow, but this improved after ''De Hoop'', Stiens burnt down. Former customers of ''De Hoop'' then came to ''De Zwaluw''. When ''De Hoop'' was rebuilt, trade there was slow because it had lost its market. The business at ''De Zwaluw'' has expanded to include a campsite and moorings.〔 The mill lies alongside the Dokkummer Ee, and is passed by participants in the Elfstedentocht.〔 (Click on "Geschiedenis" to view.)〕 The mill is grinding on a daily basis, with the sawmill at work on Saturdays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「De Zwaluw, Burdaard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
