Waarlandsmolen and Molenhuijs: water and village history

The Waarlandsmolen and the Molenhuijs cover the creation of polders and the history of Waarland. The combination of windmill and exhibition offers both a building and explanations to look at.

Plan your visit ↗

The struggle with water

The permanent display links water management and the landscape. Use the panels to understand the surroundings better, then see how the mill is placed within them. This keeps the technology tied to a specific place.

The village gets attention too

Village history and objects such as a West Frisian cap put a different emphasis from the polder technology. Temporary exhibitions may add further subjects. Check the calendar if you are coming for a particular theme.

Two kinds of accessibility

The Molenhuijs has a ramp, but the mill itself is not wheelchair accessible. There is no accessible toilet. The regular opportunity to visit is on Sundays in season; groups can request other times. Check the current season dates before you set off.

Before you go

Check the season’s Sundays and bear in mind the difference in accessibility between the mill and the Molenhuijs.
