De Kleine Molen, Polder windmill in Stiens, Netherlands.

De Kleine Molen features an eight-sided wooden structure covered with thatch and stands on a low base near the N367 road.

Built in 1913 as Binnema's Molen, this windmill underwent complete reconstruction in 1988 and moved 60 meters to its current location.

The mill maintains its traditional drainage function for the Binnema polder region through a centrifugal pump system powered by wind or electricity.

Visitors need to schedule appointments to access the mill, which operates regularly under the management of Stichting De Fryske Mole foundation.

This structure holds the distinction of being the smallest octagonal windmill in the Netherlands, with sails spanning only 9 meters.
