The Genneper Watermill (Genneper Watermolen) is one of Eindhoven’s most charming historic
sites, set along the peaceful banks of the Dommel River. Dating back to the 13th century, this
picturesque mill was famously painted by Vincent van Gogh during his time in the region.
Today, the mill still operates and produces traditional flour, offering visitors a glimpse into the
Netherlands’ rural past. Surrounded by scenic walking trails, it’s the perfect escape for nature
lovers, photographers, and history enthusiasts.
