The Beetskoog pumping station once pumped water from the Beetskoog polder to the Schermerboezem. This former steam pumping station was built in 1877 and drained the polder until 1954.

A beautiful little pumping station powered by a rhythmic and slow-running bronze diesel engine that is over 100 years old and is allowed to do its work for a few Sundays every summer.
