De Mûnts, Polder windmill in Buitenpost, Netherlands.
De Mûnts features an eight-sided wooden structure with stone field walls, reed covering, and sails that extend nearly to the ground level.
Originally constructed in 1871 in Oosterhoogebrug for the Eemskanaal project, this mill was relocated and reconstructed in Buitenpost between 1958 and 1959.
The windmill maintains its status as a Rijksmonument, representing centuries of Dutch water management tradition through wind-powered drainage systems.
The mill operates with an Archimedes screw mechanism that lifts 106 liters of water per rotation, managing water levels in the surrounding agricultural land.
In 1985, the mill received a technological upgrade when its damaged wooden inner pole was replaced with an iron construction for improved durability.
