The Berkmeermolen is an octagonal inner mill. The Berkmeermolen is a polder mill built in 1608, which was moved in 1803 from its original location near Hensbroek to its current location in Berkmeer near Obdam. In 1877, an auxiliary steam pumping station was added, which was electrified in 1925. The mill was then stripped of its sails. The mill was out of work until 1941. In that year, the Berkmeermolen was made operational again and has been running regularly since then. The Berkmeermolen is a thatched octagonal mill of the ground-sailer type. The hood of the mill is equipped with a crosspiece with wooden rollers, which is seasoned from the inside. The mill is, like more North Holland polder mills, an inner mill. The Berkmeermolen is equipped with a Flemish catch.

The Berkmeermolen stands proudly in the open North Holland landscape, surrounded by vast polders and waterways. This characteristic polder mill, built in the 17th century, still has an important function in water management.
