Holiday apartment in Oudemolen: Fortresses, islands and a windmill

Oudemolen offers a destination with several distinct facets. The surrounding region, both nearby and farther afield, is home to fortresses, castles, islands and a park. There is also a 1650 farm barn with canoes for trips on the creeks, as well as a wind-powered grain mill with a mill shop. The themes cover buildings, landscapes, water and regional food products. In this way, the region combines buildings and landscape sites with water activities and a mill shop offering regional products.

Fortresses and castles around Oudemolen: Fort Sabina, Buitensluis a/d, Markiezenhof and Kasteel van Breda in the region

Fort Sabina, a fortress, is located near Oudemolen. Buitensluis a/d, also a fortress, is likewise nearby. Farther afield in the region are the Markiezenhof, a castle, and Kasteel van Breda, also a castle. The fortresses are therefore in the immediate vicinity, while the castles are located farther afield in the region. The four buildings thus span two regional ranges and two types of buildings.

Islands and a park as further landscape themes: Tiengemeten, IJsselmonde, Duivelseiland and Visdonk in the surrounding area

Islands and a park are also among the region's landscape themes. The island of Tiengemeten is located near Oudemolen. The islands of IJsselmonde and Duivelseiland are also located farther afield in the region. Visdonk, a park, is also nearby. Tiengemeten and Visdonk are therefore assigned to the immediate vicinity, while IJsselmonde and Duivelseiland are farther afield in the region. The three islands are thus spread across the immediate vicinity and the wider regional area; Visdonk complements them as a park. Alongside the buildings, this adds a selection of landscapes that combines islands with a site described as a park.

Water experiences and mill culture: De Prullenkast and Korenmolen De Oude Molen with canoes and products

De Prullenkast is located in a 1650 farm barn in the Ruigenhilpolder. De Prullenkast rents out canoes for trips on the creeks. The year gives the barn a clear historical reference, while the creeks identify the destination of the water trips on offer. The combination of the farm barn, Ruigenhilpolder and the creeks gives the water activities their own local setting. Visitors planning canoe trips can therefore experience the buildings and the water activities in a specific context.

Korenmolen De Oude Molen is the last example of a round stone wind-powered grain mill in the western Brabant clay-polder region. The mill shop at Korenmolen De Oude Molen sells self-milled flour, bread and cake mixes, as well as other regional products. Its round stone form and location in the western Brabant clay-polder region give the mill theme a clear regional setting.
