De Groene Molen, Historic drainage windmill in Joure, Netherlands.
De Groene Molen features horizontal boarded roofing and common sails spanning 13.10 meters, mounted on a single-story base with a roundhouse structure.
Built around 1800 to drain the Bleeker polder, the mill received a Lister diesel engine in 1937 to support its wind-powered drainage capabilities.
The mill represents traditional Dutch water management techniques, demonstrating the engineering methods used to maintain dry land in low-lying areas.
Visitors can access the mill by appointment to observe the functional Archimedes screw system, which operates through both wind power and engine mechanisms.
The structure includes a distinctive stage positioned 4.20 meters above ground level, classifying it as a Spinnenkop met Stelling type windmill.
