About this audio guide
This guide to Korenmolen de Distilleerketel in Rotterdam's old harbour of Delfshaven starts with the sound of its millstones and goes back to seventeen twenty-seven, when the mill worked for the gin distillers lining the Voorhaven quay. It follows who the mill really served, where the money in this little port flowed, and the fires and wars the tower lived through. Stand on the quay where you can see the sails and the timber beneath the cap.
