Wijk bij Duurstede - Town Walls

In addition to some remains of walls Wijk has preserved one of the town gates, the Rijnmolenpoort, on which is the Rijn en Lek windmill, a flour mill built in 1659. In spite of appearances, however, this is not the windmill depicted in Jacob van Ruisdael's painting "Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede" (now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), which stood some 200m/220yd farther west.
