Nederland - Nigtevecht, Garstenmolen

Nederland - Nigtevecht, Garstenmolen
From the 12th century onwards, the wild peat bogs in this area were reclaimed for cattle breeding. Settlers dug ditches and watercourses to drain the water. Due to this water extraction, the land subsided and the natural drainage of water was endangered. In order to prevent the hard-won areas from flooding again, the water had to be drained from the polder using windmills.

The Garstenmolen (Garsten Mill) was built in 1876 after its predecessor burned down. The mill served to drain the Garstenpolder until 1960. After this was taken over by an electric pumping station, wheels, axles and spindles were removed to turn the mill into a dwelling.

In 2006/2007, the mill was thoroughly restored and made mill-ready again. The mill was fitted with a new longer screw pump, so that water from the polder can once again be milled into the river Vecht.

Volunteer millers keep the mill running. The mill can be visited when it is in operation.

Such a beautiful mill..............it must have been so nice to live in after it was converted to a dwelling..............but it's good to see that it is now back to being a proper mill and fulfulling it's original purpose.

Three smashing images Jaap...............the main one is very well composed and you chose your perspective well. It looks splendid in the sunshine.

Enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely weekend.

With the efforts for a more environmentally life style wind power may return to power your drainage although the design will be very plain compared to that one

An edifying story for this magnificent mill, the result of an admirable restoration.
