The Great Mill in Schellinkhout is a characteristic form of North Holland and was built in the Golden Age. Many dry mills were built during this time. They used windmills to pump away the rising water in Noord-Holland to create polders. The Great Mill was built around 1630 to pump water into the Zuiderzee. And it still does! When Schellinkhout threatened to get their feet wet because of the flood, they still let the Grote Molen work to pump out the water.
