Nederland - Groet, Groetermolen

The Groetermolen (Groeter Mill) is a polder mill built in 1890, after its predecessor burned down a year earlier due to a lightning strike. The mill is a so-called ground sailer. Until 1977 the windmill was used exclusively for draining the Groeterpolder. In that year an electric pump was installed, as a result of which the windmill was no longer used. Today, both the windmill and the electric pumping station ensure the drainage of the 220 ha Groeterpolder. In 2020 the Groetermolen made over 933.000 rotations.

Estas fotografías son buenas y los molinos muy bonitos.
Me queda la duda, de porqué las palas de los molinos no ofrecen una superficie cerrada como pueden ofrecerla las velas de un velero. Seguro que tendrán explicación.

The wings have sails and depending on the wind they are used.

A wonderful image Jaap, the snow made me think did they have any heating in them or was in considered to risky with the wooden construction , I have no idea if our mills did I would think not the dust in a corn mill would be very dangerous
