De Zwaan Windmill (Ouderkerk aan de Amstel)

Highlight • Monument

De Zwaan was built around 1638 as an inland windmill. This drained the Klein-Duivendrechtse and the Binnenbullewijkerpolder on the Amstel (the reservoir of Amstelland), which together had an area of 356 ha. The mill has an escape of 25.6 meters. On July 22, the landlords of the Klein-Duivendrecht district and part of the Binnenbullewijk received a patent to embank their lands previously shared with the Amstellandsches Schoß. This created a polder that bordered to the east on the Westbijlmer and Laander polders, which had their own windmills. In 1879 the polders were merged through peat cutting, resulting in the "Verenigde Westbijlmer- en Klein Duivendrechtse polder".
This national monument is owned by the association "De Hollandsche Molen" (The Dutch Mill).

In the early 1900s the drained land was reclaimed and the newly created polder was given the name "New Bullewijk". It was regulated by state decree on December 21, 1909. As a result of an agreement of May 20th of the same year, which decided that the remaining part of the "Verenigde Westbijlmer- en Klein Duivendrechtse polder" could, under certain conditions, drain its excess water to the much lower-lying land, the abandonment of the two windmills became of this polder at the beginning of 1910, when the agreement came into force, was taken over by the steam pumping station of "Nieuwe Bullewijk". The mill in the Westbijlmer and Laander polders was then partially and then completely demolished. The mill of the Klein-Duivendrechtse en Binnenbullewijkerpolder remained standing, but fell into disrepair. In 1930 the association "De Hollandsche Molen" took over the management of the mill. It was rented out as a residence, but the mill itself was no longer in operation. A pole is removed and the reeds are also gradually disappearing, so demolition was considered.

De Riekermolen and the Rembrandt statue

Highlight • Monument

Close to the Klein Kalfje, a statue of Rembrandt suddenly pops up. Not surprising: this was the place where the painter made many sketches – which he later finished in his studio. Originally, the adjacent mill stood in the Riekerpolder. When the mill had to be moved due to enlargement of the Nieuwe Meer, the mill was given its current location. “When I have guests from abroad, I always bring them here. Then I say: It doesn't get more Dutch than this: a windmill and the statue of Rembrandt.'
