The mill was originally built to drain the Oude en Nieuwe Goudse Polder at Gouda, South Holland. It was dismantled in 1946 and re-erected at the Netherlands Open Air Museum, Arnhem, Gelderland. [1] The mill was restored to working order in 2009. [2]

Description

The mill is what the Dutch describe as a Weidemolen (English: Meadow mill). It is a small hollow post mill on a roundhouse. The mill is winded by tail vane. The buck and roundhouse are covered in boards. The sails are Common sails. They have a span of 5.90 metres (19 ft 4 in). The sails are carried on a wooden windshaft.
