Nederland - Krommenie, De Woudaap

Nederland - Krommenie, De Woudaap
The exact year of construction the octagonal polder windmill De Woudaap is not known, but on 14 March 1651 a permit was granted for the embankment of the peat bog area the Woudpolder, then called De Wouden. De Woudaap must have been built in or shortly after 1651. After construction of the mill the excess water of the polder could be pumped away and the meadows could be put to better use.

In 1864, De Woudaap was given a screw instead of a scoop wheel, which increased the capacity of the mill. The polder mill was kept in operation professionally until the year 2002. With the death of the last miller in that year this came to an end. In 2008 a new electric pumping station was built, which takes care of the water management of the polder.

De Woudaap itself is nowadays put into operation on a voluntary basis. The mill is fully operational and will contribute to the drainage whenever it is possible or necessary. The mill can handle up to 70m³ of water per minute.

A fantastic shot Jaap.............the "letter box" format is perfect for this scene and the mill is perfectly positioned in the frame. I like the close up shots in the PiPs too.

"70m³ of water per minute" is a great productivity. So these giants still contribute to the security of the country today...
The panoramic view gives a good idea of the region and of the kind of "lighthouse" that the mill constitutes. Superb, really.
