Large windmill built in 1636 to drain the surrounding land. The mill originally stood in the Riekerpolder. When the mill had to be relocated due to the expansion of the Nieuwe Meer, the mill was given its current location.

The section about one kilometer before and one kilometer after the mill is paved with bricks. You can skate well with large or soft wheels, but you will be shaken a lot.

This historic mill dates from 1636 and with favorable winds you can still see it turning! Near this mill is a statue of Rembrandt, because he made many paintings along the Amstel. For example, he painted 'The Amstel seen from the Blauwbrug'. Unfortunately, the mill cannot be visited from the inside, but with a bit of luck you can see it running. The wind has to be just right.
