Hoogmadesche Polder Mill

Highlight • Monument

Old water pumping windmill. A good indication of the age (of the style) of a windmill is to check whether it is only the cap of the windmill that rotates together with the sails or is the whole body that rotates.

If the whole body rotates the style is from the 15th to 16th century, if it is only the cap that rotates (and the body is usually made of brick) than it is from the 17th century or after
