Polder mill in Muiderberg

betekenis & definitie

'De Onrust' (Boezemkade 1), located southwest of Muiderberg, is an octagonal ground sailor with brick substructure covered with reeds. This mill, built in 1806 at the second (failed) attempt to drain the Naardermeer, is still in use to regulate the water level of the lake. The nearby 'De Machine' pumping station (Boezemkade 5) was established in 1883 on the third attempt, but became out of use in 1886 due to seepage problems and poor agricultural yields.
