Stichts-Ankeveensemolen

The path takes you past this beautiful mill. You have a great view over the Spiegelplas. On warm sunny days there are plenty of places to relax in the sun or shade

The Poldermolen Nederhorst ten Berg in the Dutch municipality of Wijdemeren used to drain the former polder Stichts-Ankeveen with an area of approx. 473 ha.There used to be a second mill for the polder, but it disappeared between 1863 and 1894. The dewatering was initially done through this 2nd mill. The remaining mill remained in operation until about 1932. In 1956 the neglected mill was bought by the previous owner and converted into a residence. In the 1970s, under the influence of volunteer millers, attempts were occasionally made to turn the mill again, with little success. The mill was sold in the summer of 2015.This inhabited mill cannot be visited.Source: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poldermolen_Nederhorst_den_Berg
