De Gekroonde Poelenburg, Paltrock windmill in Zaanse Schans, Netherlands.
De Gekroonde Poelenburg features an open structure design with three exposed sides and operates on wooden rollers placed on a brick foundation.
Built in 1866 in Koog aan de Zaan, the mill relocated multiple times before settling at its current location in Zaanse Schans during 1963.
The mill represents traditional Dutch industrial methods as one of two remaining paltrock sawmills in the Zaanstreek region of the Netherlands.
Visitors can observe the mill's mechanism that turns the entire structure using a rolling ring system to align with wind direction.
The mill's exterior underwent restoration in 2005, replacing black tar coating with the original green paint based on historical documentation.
