De Bisschopsmolen (The bishop's mill) is the oldest water mill in the Netherlands and still actively grinding different grains to provide flour for the tasty breads and pastries.

This mill was originally built in the 7th Century for agriculture & other purposes, but in the later 11th century, it was reshaped for grinding and running till today. The accompanying bakery uses flour from this Watermill for making their delicious menu.

The bakery is located at the center of the Maastricht city. You don’t need your google maps to navigate to the location; If you walk past the Basilica of Our Lady (Basiliek van Onze Lieve Vrouwe), the delicious smell of freshly-baked breads and pie/tart will take you to the bakery, it’s hard to me missed😜.

Bisschopsmolen bakers say that they use grains from the local farmers and add no chemical ingredients, that makes their specialty “limburgse vlaai” (Limburg’s Pie). Everyone’s welcomed to visit their kitchen, and also can bake a taart yourself. They do conduct interesting baking workshops for kids and guided tour for groups.

We had our light lunch at their small restaurant, tasted their favorite wrap and vlaai; it was wonderful with a nice coffee. Their small shop next door sells all sort of ingredients that you can take-away and bake at your home.
