Gemaal Lely, Pumping station in Wieringerwerf, Netherlands.

The Gemaal Lely station stands on the Wieringermeerdijk, rising higher on the eastern polder side than the western IJsselmeer side, featuring white concrete building volumes.

Built between 1928 and 1929, the station was designed by Engineer D. Roosenburg and constructed by Hillen & Roosen with Trio Betonbouw for water management.

The building represents the Nieuwe Zakelijkheid architectural style with its symmetrical facades, decorative concrete elements, and characteristic horizontal ornamentation between wall surfaces.

Visitors can access the station while exploring nearby cycling routes, including the Rondje Medemblik and paths along the Westfriese Omringdijk.

The eastern facade displays a commemorative plaque from 1945 with an engraved image of waves, polder land, and sun, marking a historical dike breach.
