Weltermolen, Welten

The Weltermolen (literally Weltermill) is a watermill located in Welten, Heerlen in the Netherlands. It is fed by the Geleenbeek, with some extra force created by a largely man-made pond. The Weltermolen wasn't a watermill until the start of the 20th century. During WWII (approximately 1943) the waterwheel was taken out of action and an electrical motor took over. The mill was already mentioned in the 14th century and it has a strong connection with Huis Strijthagen.
