Description

The windmills are close to each other, but each drains its own polder. The large Mill of the Westbroek Polder drained independently with a paddle wheel until 1946. Just after the war, the mill was still important for draining this part of the Waterlinie. The German occupying forces had flooded the area to hinder the advancing Allies. Nowadays this is done mechanically and the mill works as an auxiliary pumping station. The small seesaw water mill, Molen van de Polder Buitenweg, works with a vertical screw pump.
