De Jansmolen, Polder windmill in Goengahuizen, Netherlands
De Jansmolen stands tall with its traditional architecture and rotating sails, designed to pump water from the surrounding low-lying agricultural fields of Friesland.
The windmill received official recognition as a Rijksmonument in February 1970, marking its importance in Dutch agricultural and technological development.
The structure represents centuries of Dutch water management techniques, demonstrating the relationship between communities and their constant battle with water levels.
Visitors can reach the windmill by following the rural roads of Smallingerland, with coordinates 53.0828404 latitude and 5.8870275 longitude guiding the way.
The internal machinery remains intact, allowing observers to study the mechanical systems that have drained the Frisian polders for generations.
