De Hiemerter Mole, Spider-head polder windmill in Burgwerd, Netherlands.
De Hiemerter Mole stands 53.099967 latitude and 5.518869 longitude, featuring a square base structure covered with vertical planks and modern technical systems.
Built in 1811 for draining the Hiemerterpolder, this windmill operated solely through wind power until 1957 when a diesel engine replaced its primary function.
The spinnekop design of this windmill represents traditional Dutch engineering methods developed specifically for managing water levels in agricultural regions.
Visitors need appointments to access the mill at Hemert 6 in Burgwerd, where volunteers maintain operations for draining the surrounding polder.
The mill received a new wooden upper shaft installation in 2018, maintaining its original drainage capabilities while incorporating the Fauël system from 1950.
