The Doesburgermolen is a post mill in the hamlet of Doesburgerbuurt in the community of Ede, Netherlands
It is considered to be the oldest post mill in the Netherlands; in its present form it was probably build around 1630.[1] It underwent a major restoration around 1970.
The mill is operated by volunteers and is still used for grinding grain.
