Molen Het Zoutvat | Gemert
In 1544, under the leadership of Henrick van Eynatten, commander of Gemert, a second windmill was built in Gemert, named Het Zoutvat. It was a wooden standard mill, a so-called lower mill. With the help of a substantial tail beam, the entire mill casing could be turned to face the wind. On October 14, 1544, the mill was officially put into operation. The first bag of flour was for Henrick van Hochkercken, on behalf of the Teutonic Order, the second bag was for Henrick van Eynatten, the commander of Gemert, and the third bag was for Goyart Moeyen.
The mill was leased by the Teutonic Order, along with mill De Beer and the mill house, which stood next to De Beer. Well-known miller families were Penninx, Kievits and Van Heeswijk.

The first bag of flour was for Henrick van Hochkercken, on behalf of the Teutonic Order, the second bag was for Henrick van Eynatten, the commander of Gemert, and the third bag was for Goyart Moeyen.
The mill was leased by the Teutonic Order, along with mill De Beer and the mill house, which stood next to De Beer. Well-known miller families were Penninx, Kievits and Van Heeswijk.
With the dissolution of the Teutonic Order, its properties were nationalized and managed by the Domeinen. In 1833, Adriaan van Riemsdijk bought the property of the Teutonic Order in Gemert, including the mill. His heir Everard Scheidius sold the mill in 1877 to Ida Coppens, widow of Francis van den Boomen, who also already owned windmill De Ruyter in Gemert. Eventually, Het Zoutvat was demolished in 1917.
