The polder is kept dry at 1000 liters per second

Heavy guns in the fight against the water. This improved version of older polder mills has a so-called auger instead of a paddle wheel. This allows it to move around 60,000 liters of water per minute. The mill is pumping in the decades that it serves billions of liters of water from the Oostpolder in Groningen to the Zuidlaardermeer. At the rear of the swivel hood is the tail that turns the windmill on. In the hood is the catch (the brake) of the mill, which is operated from outside with the rope that hangs at the tail. In 1939 an electric pumping station took over the work of the mill. The mill was demolished in 1953 and rebuilt in the museum a few years later.

Placed here in 1960.
