J.L. Hooglandgemaal, Pumping station in Stavoren, Netherlands
The J.L. Hooglandgemaal contains four horizontal screw pumps that transfer water from the Frisian storage basin into the IJsselmeer at 6,000 cubic meters per minute.
Constructed in 1966 under architect Piet de Vries, this station replaced the ir. D.F. Woudagemaal, which now operates only during extreme water conditions.
The building represents Dutch water management expertise through its reconstruction-period architecture and received Rijksmonument status for its engineering heritage in 2015.
Located at Stadsfenne 33 in Stavoren, the station underwent renovations in 2011 that increased its water discharge capacity to 7,340 cubic meters per minute.
The structure features a curved roof design and includes decorative elements such as sculptured steps and flagpoles integrated into its functional architecture.
