Molendriegang, Historic windmill complex in Leidschendam-Voorburg, Netherlands.
Three octagonal windmills stand in a row, reaching 28 meters high, functioning as a water management system for the surrounding polder lands.
Built in 1672, these three windmills served as drainage mechanisms for the Driemanspolder until 1951, when electric pumps took over their function.
The Molendriegang represents traditional Dutch water management techniques, with resident millers maintaining the structures throughout the centuries.
Located at Stompwijkseweg 24-28, the windmills operate once monthly on Saturday afternoons, though interior access remains restricted to maintenance staff.
During winter months, the frozen polder waters surrounding the three windmills transform into natural ice skating grounds for local residents.
