OVERVIEW

Built in 1872 by the Aruba Island Gold Mining Company to process ore from the island's interior, the mill operated for about a decade. Gold was found on Aruba in 1824 and worked intermittently into the twentieth century. The stone shell stands directly on the north shore.

HISTORY

The nearby Natural Bridge, long the island's best-known landmark, collapsed in 2005.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

The ruin is reported locally as an uneasy place after dark. Nothing is documented.

VISITING

Freely accessible on the north coast road; the surf here is dangerous.
