This electric pumping station was commissioned in 1936 by then-dike reeve H.C. de Jongh. Two memorial plaques on the pumping station commemorate the two previous (steam) pumping stations. The pumping station was modernized in 1998. Today, it is controlled by a computer in Druten.

A very nice and relaxing route. How close can you cycle to a water kingdom? Stay here and enjoy life on and around the many waterfronts.

In the Historic harbour ships are refurbished and launched. The large inland vessels are inhabited.

In 1632, Veerhuis De Zwaan was built on a river dune, serving both the 'small ferry' to Gelderland and later the 'large steam ferry' between 's-Hertogenbosch and Rotterdam. Over time, it transformed into an inn with overnight accommodation for both ladies and gentlemen, as illustrated by the swans on the western facade. On the other side are 'De Kleef Aen', an old weigh house with a scale for weighing goods for embarkation, and 'De Zwaan' from 1708, where carriages were stabled and rented out. The history of De Zwaan is steeped in meaning. Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife stayed here in 1811 during their inspection tour of the fortifications. During the famine of '44/'45, the vault under De Zwaan served as a shelter, etc... Although the ferry house now serves as a residence, it is still sporadically made available to couples who want to get married via the still present ferry jetty.

In the sheltered harbour of Woudrichem there are 120 moorings. You can admire different types of boats. The types vary from the salmon barge to cabin sailing yacht, from rowing boat to luxury motor yacht. Due to the location of Woudrichem the harbour is an excellent base to a beautiful and varied sailing area. The quiet Afgedamde Maas, the lively Waal and Merwede and the vast Biesbosch are within easy reach. A nice location to wave goodbye to ships.

Fortified town Woudrichem, or Woerkum, as the residents call it, is the only town of the Biesboschlinie. In the 9th century, a market place was created on a riverbank. Today, this is where the Hoogstraat and the Molenstraat intersect. This place is still the heart of the fortified town. Historical context: History Woudrichem is strategically located at the confluence of the Maas and Waal, at the intersection of 3 provinces. The Land van Altena, to which Woudrichem belongs, belonged to the County of Holland from 1322. It was not until 1815 that it was incorporated into the new province of North Brabant. Woudrichem was granted city rights in 1356. In that year, the count's river toll from Niemandsvriend van Sliedrecht was also moved to Woudrichem. A few years later, the town also received fishing rights and flourished. The Martinuskerk and city walls date from this period. In 1420, the toll was moved to Gorinchem. This event, the St. Elizabeth's flood of 1421 and the many military conflicts in which the town was involved due to its location, caused the decline of the town. The many sieges have left their mark on Woerkum. In 1573, the Geuzen set fire to the town. They considered it indefensible. A new city wall was then built, which protected a smaller area than the old city wall had done. This city wall is the fortress wall that still encloses the center. In 1814, Woudrichem became part of the New Dutch Waterline. From that time on, no more building was allowed in the surrounding land. It was not until 1955 that the fortress was closed and new residential areas were built around the town. The historic city center is a protected cityscape.

The predecessor of the current mill originally dates from 1662 and was a predecessor of the mill that was destroyed on site in 1945. However, it is assumed that a mill stood on this site much earlier. According to a list (from around 1280) of goods that were held in fief from the Count of Holland, there already appears to be a windmill in Woudrichem. In the past, it was customary for a city to have one or more city mills, owned by the city council. The mill was leased to a miller, who was authorised to grind grain into flour for third parties (farmers and bakers). The miller was often paid in kind. The grain mill Nooit Gedagt has traditionally stood on the city wall of the fortified city of Woudrichem. The city wall is part of the defence works built by Adriaan Antonisz in 1583 on the orders of Prince William of Orange. Woudrichem, together with Gorinchem and Slot Loevestein, is part of the so-called 'iron triangle'. The mill was provided with the octagonal masonry superstructure in 1862. The substructure of an earlier date first accommodated a wooden octagon. Triggered? Want to know more? Click through to https://www.molennooitgedagt.nl/index.php/over-de-molen
