The Eendrachtsmolen is a ground sailor at the Zevenhuizer Verlaat between the Hennipsloot and the Rottemeren near Zevenhuizen ZH.
The mill was built in 1727 as a bosom mill that drained the water from two now no longer existing mill corridors. Nowadays the mill can serve as a water changer for the Rotte. The mill also serves as a home. Since 1949, the mill has been owned by the Schieland Water Board, which has now merged into the Schieland and Krimpenerwaard Water Board.
The sail cross has rods with a length of approximately 28 meters and is equipped with the old Dutch fencing with sails. The water is raised with a paddle wheel.
