Close to the Klein Kalfje, a statue of Rembrandt suddenly pops up. Not surprising: this was the place where the painter made many sketches – which he later finished in his studio. Originally, the adjacent mill stood in the Riekerpolder. When the mill had to be moved due to enlargement of the Nieuwe Meer, the mill was given its current location. “When I have guests from abroad, I always bring them here. Then I say: It doesn't get more Dutch than this: a windmill and the statue of Rembrandt.'

Large windmill built in 1636 to drain the surrounding land. Nearby is a bronze statue of Rembrandt, in honor of the many sketches he made here.
