   How were polders built?

   • The work was done by three huge steam pumping stations. Steam power had been used for drainage in Holland before, but only on a smaller scale. The earliest polders were formed by enclosing a piece of foreshore by a dike with a sluice gate, which was opened at low tide. Subsidence upon drying of the polder floor made power drainage inevitable.

   Does the schermerpolder still work?

   • The Schermerpolder, where the Museum Mill is located, was a lake of more than 4 meters deep until 1633. Between 1633 and 1635 this lake was drained by 52 octagonal polder mills. The Museum Mill is one of the remaining 11 polder mills, with which the Schermerpolder was retaken 400 years ago on the water. And the mill still works!

   How long did it take polder to get drained?

   • The initial drainage took from 1849 to 1852. All three pumping stations worked continually at maximum capacity, with a few interruptions. Later they kept the polder dry, and were idle during long periods. As agricultural needs changed, the water-table had to be kept within stricter limits, with shorter, intenser pumping periods.
