The Kleine Molen or De Hommel is a polder mill built in 1879 at Hommeldijk 20 in Haarlem. The Hommel drained the Vereenigde Groote and Kleine polders. The mill is a thatched octagonal mill of the ground sailer type with an Old Dutch sails. It is equipped with an auger, which was used to drain the polder until 1944. In that year, the polder was flooded by order of the German occupying forces. After the war, the Kleine Molen became the housing for an electric pumping station. In 1963/4 the mill was refurbished, but on 31 March 1967 lightning struck and the mill burned down. In 1972 and 1991 the mill was restored, with the charred wooden octagon largely preserved.
