Gemaal Colijn, Municipal monument pumping station in Flevoland, Netherlands.

Located in Flevoland, Gemaal Colijn contains multiple high-capacity electric engines that maintain water levels across the surrounding agricultural and urban areas.

Queen Juliana inaugurated the pumping station on October 18, 1967, marking a pivotal moment in the Netherlands' water management infrastructure development.

The station features artistic elements, including reliefs by Prof. Paul Grégoire and a mural by Hans van Norden depicting the transition from sea to land.

The facility operates alongside Lovink and Wortman stations to regulate water levels, ensuring the protection of reclaimed land throughout the Flevoland region.

The pumping station completed the drainage of South Flevoland in just seven months, transforming the former seabed into productive agricultural land by May 29, 1968.
