Tips from the Community
The Bailey Bridge in Mol At the beginning of World War II, the bridges on the Kempen canals were blown up. With the liberation, the British built a temporary bridge in Mol, which still stands today. The bridge is a so-called Bailey bridge, named after its designer, R.C. Bailey. He developed this ingenious, modular bridge for military purposes. A Bailey bridge can be assembled without machinery, using only manpower. Such a bridge is actually only meant to be there for a short time, but in some places, such as in Mol, it remained. The pillars of the old bridge are still clearly visible.

The mill, a colossus weighing over thirty tons, was moved to this location in 1954 and was then designated a protected monument. Previously, the mill stood on Kerkenbergen, along the road to Retie. (Information board on site)

Over 25 years ago, De Wanmolen found its home in a then dilapidated farmhouse, somewhere between the Kempen Hills and the Kleine Nete valley. A common thread running through the years has been a love of wood and beautiful furniture, a focus on the plants and animals around us, recycling, and fair-trade products. Here, we sell old and new furniture and decorations, but we also thoroughly sand, stain, oil, and so on. We're constantly reimagining ourselves: how to make that old piece of furniture fresh and contemporary again, what to do with that beautiful piece of wood, which furniture we want to sell, and which products we work with.
