De Bird, Historic windmill in Grou, Netherlands
The De Bird windmill features eight wooden blades rotating on a central axis, with traditional Dutch construction methods visible in its sturdy frame structure.
Built in the 19th century, this windmill served the local community by pumping water from the surrounding lowlands to maintain water levels in the Frisian landscape.
The windmill represents the engineering knowledge of Dutch millers, who developed advanced techniques for water management through wind power in the Netherlands.
Visitors can reach the windmill by following the cycling path from Grou center, which leads directly to the site along the waterfront.
The windmill contains original mechanical components from the 1800s, including wooden gears and a water-lifting mechanism that still functions today.
