The Zuidpoldermolen is a windmill in Edam, dated between 1626-35[1] and was used to grind grain and drain a polder: low land that has been reclaimed from the sea and diked.
The mill is owned by the Dutch Windmill Society.
Description
For an explanation of the various items of machinery, see Mill machinery.
The Zuidpoldermolen is a thatched octagonal internal turning polder mill in Edam. The low, octagonal design categorizes it as a smock style, and the name translates to "south polder mill." The polder in 1875 has been supplemented by a steam screw pump.
Public access
The wind-driven mechanics have been out of operation since 1949, and is closed to visitors.[2]
