Kleilânsmole, Polder windmill in Marrum, Netherlands
Kleilânsmole is a grondzeiler windmill on a low foundation located near the Frisian village of Marrum in the Netherlands. The structure features a single post mill design that rotates to face the wind.
The windmill was built to control water levels in the Ferwerderadiel polders and support farming activities. It played a key role in the development of Dutch polder systems that allowed land to be drained and protected.
This structure shows traditional Frisian windmill building techniques that you can still see in how it was constructed. The regional building methods shape how it looks and reflect the local knowledge passed down through generations.
Visiting gives you a close look at the original mechanics and functional design of a historic farm machine. Check ahead about access and visiting times, as this monument may only be open to the public on certain occasions.
The structure uses a ground-level operating system where mechanisms work at the base rather than high up like other mill types. This design made maintenance easier and worked well for flat, marshy terrain.
