Tadema's molen, Windmill in Bolsward, Netherlands.
The eight-sided ground sailer windmill stands tall with its thatched wooden body and stone base at the edge of Bolsward town.
Built in 1824 by millmaker Sjoerd Feddes IJpma, the structure received its current name from the last active miller Tadema who operated it.
The windmill serves as a national monument, representing centuries of Dutch water management techniques through wind-powered drainage systems.
Visitors can observe the functioning mill during specific hours, where the steel screw mechanism with three grinding sets maintains water levels.
The mill incorporates both wind power and electrical systems to pump water from agricultural lands that sit below sea level.
