De Reiger is a smock mill in Nijetrijne, Friesland, Netherlands which was built in 1871. The mill has been converted into a holiday home. It is listed as a Rijksmonument.
The mill was built in 1871 by Jan Hernanus Engelmoer for ƒ9,097, the millers house costing a further ƒ903. It was first set to work on 24 December 1871. The mill was built to drain the Grote Veenpolder. It was stopped working in 1956 due to a defect with its Archimedes' screw. Although repaired, the mill finally ceased working early in 1958. It was then converted to a holiday home. Following refurbishment in 1969, the sails were again capable of turning by wind. A further restoration in 2006 saw the mill fitted with new sails, slightly shorter than the originals. Formerly known as Molen №5, the name De Reiger was only given to the mill after it was converted to a holiday cottage. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, №38870.
