The Hooglandse Molen or Voorste Molen is a seesaw mill built in 1803 to replace the burned mill built in 1627. The seesaw mill and its two whitewashed outbuildings, also completed in 1803, stands on the Zeek, a country road in Hellouw, municipality of West Betuwe, Gelderland. The polder mill is owned by the Mill Foundation for the Gelders Rivierengebied. Mills stood on this spot from 1573 onwards, the first two were destroyed after a flood by crushing ice and the third burned down. The mill, after restoration still capable of grinding, operated the adjacent polder until 1947.
