After 1616, the Meerpolder was a kind of deep and empty bathtub surrounded by water. Around the Meerpolder, the peat was dredged down to the clay bottom, creating puddles. Constant work had to be done to strengthen the dike around the polder to prevent it from breaking through and the “bathtub” from filling up. From about 1680, 3 mills ensured that the approximately 1000 hectares of land were drained for centuries.
