    The De Rietvink windmill, built in 1855 on the Grote Veenpolder, was fitted with an American windmill in 1921 to keep the area dry. After being decommissioned in 1964, it became a holiday home. Around 2005, the windmill fell into disrepair, but new owners began a thorough restoration in 2008 with the help of millwrights and volunteers. In 2010, De Rietvink turned again for the first time in 16 years and has been in regular operation ever since.

    Next to the windmill is a charming tea garden with a terrace for a refreshing drink in the sun!
