    The Bonkmolen is located on the Merwedekanaal near Meerkerk. The Bonkmolen is a seesaw mill that was built around 1853 on the Kleine Kanaaldijk in Lexmond (municipality of Vijfheerenlanden) for the drainage of the 1948 ha Lakerveld polder. The mill drained this together with the Vlietmolen and the disappeared Lekkersche Molen and was the gauge mill. The Bonkmolen was in operation until 1945.
    The mill extracts the water using a paddle wheel with a diameter of 5.90 meters. In 1976, the upper house of the mill was renovated during a major restoration. The Bonkmolen, which has been owned by SIMAV since 1972, can usually be visited on Saturdays.
