The Cornwerdermolen is a smock mill in Cornwerd, Friesland, Netherlands which has been restored to working order. The mill is listed as Rijksmonument number 39329.
The Cornwerdermolen was built in 1907 by millwright J H Westra of Franeker. The mill originally drained two polders, each via a separate Archimedes' screw. Five windmills were put out of work by the construction of the Cornwerdermolen and were demolished. The smaller of the two screws was later removed. The mill was restored in 1969. it worked until 13 November 1972, when it lost two sails in a storm. Thereafter the work of the mill was done by an Archimedes' screw driven by a tractor. The tractor was later replaced by an electric motor. The mill was restored in 1999. It is the most westerly windmill in Friesland.
