Nederland - Haren, De Helper

De Helper is a polder mill on the east bank of the Paterswoldsemeer.

The mill was built in 1863 south of the city of Groningen for the drainage of the Helpman polder using a screw pump. In the sixties of the 20th century the mill became permanently out of use and fell into disrepair. Because of the expansion of the city of Groningen and the construction of the A28 motorway in 1969 De Helper was demolished at its original location. In 1971 the mill was rebuilt on its present location on the banks of the Paterswoldsemeer. The mill is in operation on a voluntary basis.

A very interesting, colorful windmill, Jaap. I am curious though: what does it mean that it operates on a voluntary basis?

Beautiful mill and a lovely photo, Jaap, the usual excellent information as well. Perhaps we will get to see some of these mills this summer since we are planning a trip to Europe including Holland, but that is very much deo volente in view of the present crisis.

You have so many beautiful windmills in the Nederlands.............and this one is no exception. It looks lovely perched on the end of the little peninsular. I also like the image in the PiP which is very well composed and gives us a bit more context.

P.S: beste Jaap, ik zag een recente foto in een tijdschrift met een strand in jouw land vol met mensen ... wees alsjeblieft voorzichtiger in deze momenten maak niet de fouten die wij Italianen hebben gemaakt!

Dear Fabio,
I've been very irritated about that too. The measures were tightened up after that. There are now police checks and heavy fines for breaking the rules.
Let's hope for the best.
