Museum · 1 h · A grain windmill of 1743 on the ramparts, with a museum and a gallery with views. €6; closed Mondays.

De Valk (The Falcon) is a grain windmill of 1743 built on a bastion of the old city walls, and is the first thing you see on leaving the station. Inside it is a museum: you climb steep stairs through the floors where the miller's family lived and where the grain was ground, up to the gallery, from which you see the rooftops of Leiden and the sails pass very close.
