Gemaal Lovink, Pumping station in Biddinghuizen, Netherlands.
The rectangular water management facility features concrete frames, steel windows, and two vertical centrifugal pumps removing 1,160 cubic meters of water per minute.
Built in 1957 during the eastern Flevopolder reclamation period, architect Dirk Roosenburg designed this structure to manage water levels in the newly created land.
The station displays a decorative tableau called Land en Water, showing a farmer and fisherman shaking hands over a dyke.
Located along Provincial Road N306 near Lovink Lock, the automated pumping station continues its water management operations under Zuiderzeeland Water Authority.
An artificial island called De Blauwe Dromer, created by artist Jacqueline Verhaagen, stands near this Rijksmonument from the reconstruction period.
