Spinnenkopmolen, Polder windmill in Netherlands Open Air Museum, Arnhem, Netherlands
The Spinnenkopmolen features an octagonal base structure with rotating cap and sails designed for efficient water pumping in small polders.
This windmill represents the traditional Dutch water management system that developed during the medieval period to control flooding in low-lying areas.
The Netherlands Open Air Museum incorporates this windmill among numerous structures that demonstrate the agricultural and technological evolution of Dutch society.
Visitors can observe the internal mechanisms of the windmill and learn about historical water management techniques through guided tours.
The name Spinnenkopmolen derives from its spider-like appearance when viewed from above, with the rotating cap and sails resembling spider legs.
