Molenviergang, Aarlanderveen
It’s the world’s only system of water mills that still works, slowly but surely moving the surplus water from a deep polder into the Oude Rijn river. The entire process only involves sails and wind, as well as four expert millers.
This is mill no. 1, called the Ondermolen.
It’s build in 1786 but burned down in 1924.
The current mill is a second-hand one: it first stood in Bleiswijk and was moved to Aarlanderveen in 1924 and rebuilt there. In 1956 it was necessary to deepen the paddle wheel. The polder level in 1786, the year it was built, was one meter higher than in the middle of the 20th century.
In the distance you see mill no. 2 and no.3.
