Sint Antonius Abt is a windmill that has been on display in Borkel en Schaft since 1885. The mill is named after St. Anthony, patron saint of the former chapel in Borkel.
You can visit the mill for free on Wednesdays from 13:00 to 16:00 and Saturdays from 11:00 to 17:00. Guided tours are also possible on request. With sufficient wind (from 3 to 4 Bf) grain is then ground. Various flour products from the mill and a number of regional products are also sold at these times (honey, eggs, blueberry juice, Borkels mölenslukske).

The windmill has been in Borkel en Schaft since 1865 and is named after Saint Anthony, the patron saint of the former chapel in Borkel. It mainly ground rye and buckwheat, was later fitted with a motor and restored after a fire in 1935. In 1976, operations ceased, the mill was sold to the municipality of Valkenswaard and restored again. In 1990 the mill was ready to grind again and was used regularly. In 1999 it became the property of the Molen 'Sint Antonius Abt' Foundation. The mill can be visited.
