The North

Het Noorden is a polder mill in the polder Het Noorden north of Oosterend on the island of Texel in the province of North Holland.

When the northeastern areas of the island of Texel were reclaimed in 1878, a large mill was needed to drain the area. During construction, the mill was equipped with a mortar. In 1928 the mill was equipped with fairings and three screw pumps according to the system of millwright Dekker from Leiden. The mill fell out of operation in the sixties of the twentieth century and became the property of the Vereniging De Hollandsche Molen in 1970, which had a restoration carried out a few years later. Later, two of the three screw pumps were also grinded. At present, the rods are equipped with the breeding system with sails and the mill voluntarily grinds the water around in a circuit.
