Description

De Rooie Wip is a seesaw mill on the Gemeneweg in Hazerswoude-Dorp in the Dutch municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn. The mill was built for the drainage of the Gemenewegsepolder, replacing a smaller mill from 1567 at another location. The mill, which was built on the example of the Groenendijkse Molen, was completed on 2 June 1639. In 1708 the upper house of the mill was blown, after which it was immediately restored. De Rooie Wip was in operation until 1957, then as a reserve pumping station until 1960, after which it was sold to a private individual. At the same time, the Lodewijksvaart was dammed, so that the mill can no longer grind out. In 1990 a circuit was built so that the mill can grind around.
