It is very likely that a polder mill stood here before 1637. Over the centuries, the mill has been replaced several times, but it has always been indispensable for regulating the water level of the Sint Anthoniepolder.

Westmaas was founded around 1440 by the Carthusian monks. It owes its existence to the efforts of the Carthusian monastery Nieuwlicht near Utrecht. In 1458, a parish church was founded that led a fairly autonomous existence. But it too was confronted with the consequences of the Reformation. Because before the Reformation, it was the monks who had control over their church and (parish) foundation, after the Reformation it was the bailiff and aldermen of Westmaas who were closely involved in everything that had to do with the church. The bailiff and aldermen fulfilled the task of supervising the church council and ultimately decided on an appeal to a minister issued by the church council. When the Reformation was also a fact in Westmaas, the church building also came into Protestant hands. In 1650, the then small building was replaced by the church on the Breestraat that still exists today. The church then became the property of the Reformed Church, which was part of the Dutch Reformed Church, which became the official Church of the Netherlands during the Eighty Years' War. After the French occupation, the name was changed to the Dutch Reformed Church, and with the church association on 1 May 2004, the Dutch Reformed Church merged with the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and the Evangelical Lutheran Church into the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN). The church of Westmaas was truly a village church, i.e. a house of prayer for all villagers. As a result of the Secession that took place in Westmaas in 1839, this remained the Reformed Church next to a Reformed Church on the Nieuwstraat that was demolished in 2012. In 1999, a federal collaboration between the Reformed and the Reformed was established, which was converted into a merger a few years later. As a result, the church became the Village Church again. In 1965 the church tower, owned by the civil municipality of Binnenmaas, was restored and in May 1966 the restoration of the church was started, which lasted until December 1967. On 21 December 1967 the church building was put back into use. Source: https://www.vriendendorpskerkwestmaas.nl/?page_id=20

In the flat, watery landscape of the Netherlands stands a type of mill that has played a crucial role in the survival and prosperity of the country throughout the centuries: the polder mill. These special mills are a testament to the age-old battle against the water, a battle that has shaped the character and technical ingenuity of the Dutch people. In a country where much of the land lies below sea level, the conclusion to develop an efficient water management system quickly emerged. The polder mills were born from this solution, a brilliant invention that makes it possible to pump water from the lower polders and move it to higher rivers and canals. The architecture of these polder mills is a fascinating spectacle, each carefully designed to efficiently catch the wind and move the water with minimal effort. The beauty and technical precision with which these mills were built attracted many admirers and tourists every year. The graceful silhouettes against the open Dutch skies tell stories of a time when the rhythm of the mill sails determined the rhythm of life. The polder mills are not only functional wonders but also timeless monuments of Dutch heritage. They testify to the ingenuity and determination of a people who essentially surrendered to the elements. Instead, they transformed the watery landscapes into fertile polders, which formed the foundation for the well-being community that the Netherlands is today. Today, the polder mills stand as a reminder of the historical importance and technical ingenuity of Dutch water management. Visitors who stroll along the tranquil waterways, with the mills rising gracefully above the horizon, are treated to a vivid image of the past. One that honors the timeless dialogue between land, water, and people in the Netherlands. The polder mills are an essential chapter in the story of the Netherlands, a story of surviving, adapting, and ultimately, thriving in harmony with nature.
