Mellemolen, Polder windmill in Akkrum, Netherlands
The Mellemolen features traditional wooden construction with rotating sails, standing near water channels in the Frisian countryside of Akkrum at Nije Skou 2.
This windmill received official recognition as a Rijksmonument, marking its status as a protected national monument, on November 17, 1971.
The structure maintains its original function as a water management tool, representing centuries of Dutch expertise in controlling water levels through wind power.
Located at coordinates 53.0317446 latitude and 5.8362072 longitude, the mill operates as part of the water management system in the Heerenveen municipality.
The mill demonstrates the Dutch approach to land reclamation, using wind energy to pump water from lower grounds to higher channels.
