Gemaal De Lynden, Historical pumping station in Lijnden, Netherlands.
The Gothic Revival pumping station features eight suction pumps, pointed arches, battlements, and buttresses within its industrial architecture.
Built in 1849, Gemaal De Lynden operated alongside two other stations to drain the Haarlemmermeer lake, transforming the region into agricultural land.
The station honors Frans Godard Baron van Lynden van Hemmen, who developed the strategic drainage plan for the Haarlemmermeer region.
The facility ceased operations in 2005 and now houses a restaurant in its former boiler house, offering visitors a combination of heritage and dining.
The pumping station used Cornwall-manufactured components by Harvey and Fox, incorporating English industrial engineering into Dutch water management.
