Stoomgemaal Vier Noorder Koggen, Steam-driven pumping station and science museum in Medemblik, Netherlands

The Dutch Steam Engine Museum exhibits steam engines, industrial machinery, and naval equipment within a 19th-century pumping station building along the IJsselmeer.

Constructed in 1869 to replace wind-powered mills, this facility managed water levels in West-Friesland until 1975 when electric pumps took over operations.

The museum demonstrates the Netherlands' engineering expertise in water management through preserved steam engines, mechanical systems, and educational displays.

Located at Oosterdijk 4 in Medemblik, the museum charges 9 euros for adults, 6 euros for children, and provides free parking for visitors.

Visitors experience functional steam engines in their original setting, with active demonstrations of mechanisms that shaped Dutch industrial development.
