Dutch windmill ravaged by fire
Early on 25th Dec 2004, one of a series of 5 windmills in the Netherlands went up in flames, due to an unknown cause.
I'm trying to identify exactly where the mill is - the filename suggests it may be at at HoornscheVaart, but I can't locate where
that is.
Various images of the burnt mill are available -

The Hoornsche Vaart is the name of a canal between Alkmaar and Hoorn. The burnt out mill has an
entry in the Dutch Mill database, and its
own site which gives the story of its recent renovation (in Dutch).
