Bullemolen, Polder windmill in Lekkum, Netherlands
The Bullemolen features a three-story wooden structure with thatched smock and cap, standing near ground level with sails spanning 20.5 meters.
Built in 1825, this drainage mill initially operated at Tytsjerk to manage the Louwsmeer polder before moving to its current location in Lekkum.
The name Bullemolen derives from a former owner who worked as the executioner of Leeuwarden, reflecting local heritage through architectural and social history.
The mill contains an Archimedes screw measuring 1.44 meters in diameter, capable of lifting 1,130 liters of water with each complete rotation.
This windmill became one of the first in Friesland to incorporate leading edges on the Fok system, marking a technological advancement in mill engineering.
