View of the Rodenburgermolen

Highlight • Monument

This polder mill was fully operational until 1953 and drained the Rodenburgerpolder.
The mill was originally built in 1704 but actually dates back to 1893.
In that year, lightning struck, the mill burned out and it was rebuilt again.

The Rodenburgermolen, popularly called "De Kanaalwegmolen", is inhabited, but it seems that it can be visited by appointment (contrary to what Wikipedia reports).

Since 20 September 2016, the mill has been owned by Molenstichting Leiden en Omstreken and has the status of a national monument.

Roman Watchtowers at Park Matilo

Highlight • Historical Site

If you want to get very close to the Roman history of Leiden, you should definitely visit Archaeological Park Matilo. The park is named after the castellum that served as a defensive fortress here about 2000 years ago. The archaeological remains of this army camp, but also those of a medieval monastery are still hidden in the soil. Above ground, the municipality of Leiden has made the history of this area visible with reconstructions of watchtowers and children's playground equipment in Roman style.

If it is up to the municipality of Leiden, Archaeological Park Matilo will grow into an open stage where art, history and culture meet. In Park Matilo, various parties organize activities for young and old. There is even a Roman archery association (Sagittatus) active!
