Nederland - Groet, Groetermolen

The Groetermolen (Groeter Mill) is a octagonal 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.

Classic!
I remember being surprised the first time I visited a windmill used for drainage & not milling. I shouldn't have been because wind pumps have drained lots of the Netherlands over the years of course!
HFF Jaap & have a great w/e.

I well remember being utterly amazed and fascinated by the polders and the Afsluitdijk dam on my first visit to the Netherlands as a young teenager in 1964. Co-incidentally it was also my first 'shoot" with a camera, Kodak Brownie 127, and I so enjoyed the experience I decided my next camera would be a 35mm like my brother's. Your country has a lot to answer for Jaap, and I owe it thanks.
Thank you Jaap for bringing back those very happy memories with this lovely series.
