The Achthoven windmill is a windmill east of the Dutch town of Leiderdorp. After its predecessor burned down in 1892, the mill was built in 1893 for the drainage of the Achthoven and Huis ter Doespolder polders. In 1964 the mill was jacked up, with the auger placed next to the mill. The bonkelaar is made of cast iron and has wooden combs, something that is quite unusual in the Netherlands. The auger could run on the wind as well as be powered by a diesel engine. The diesel engine has now been removed and the main drainage is carried out by an electric screw pumping station next to the mill.
