Laakmolen, Polder windmill in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Laakmolen functions as a drainage mill with horizontal sails near ground level, helping maintain water levels in the surrounding agricultural lands.
Built in 1699, this windmill represents the technological advancement of Dutch water management systems that transformed marshlands into productive farming areas.
The designation as a Rijksmonument ensures the preservation of this structure as part of the Netherlands' agricultural and industrial heritage.
Located at Trekweg 102 in The Hague, the mill maintains its operational status and continues to serve its original water management purpose.
The mill's ground-sailor design allows operators to adjust the sails directly from ground level without climbing up the structure.
