The Oliemolen in Heerlen

The Oliemolen (literally Oilmill) is a 16th century Watermill located at the foot of a steep hill, in the Aambos, Heerlen in the Netherlands. The name already tells us much about its function, extracting oil, but this was not always the case, it first function as a volmolen (a mill to press wool)^[1]. The mill is fed by the Caumerbeek.

A copy, dating May 31, 1710, of the original deed exist, indicating the mill was founded on May 9, 1502, commissioned by the family Van Scheasberg ^[1]. How ever names of notables on the deed do not correlate with the people in those positions in the beginning of the 16th century ]]), possibly a 0 was mistaked for a 6, making the founding year 1562^[1].

In 1829 a license was granted for the mill to mill grain, which became to only use of the mill in 1904.
