Windmill

Windmill Hoop Doet Leven is a polder mill. This ground sailor was originally located in another location, where it was built for the drainage of the Kamphuizen polder. The mill has an iron paddle wheel outside the mill, which is half covered.

Due to the expansion of the Flora flower auction, there was no longer room for the mill. In 1999, the mill was moved to the Elsgeest polder, where it was put into operation on November 11, 2000. The mill now drains the Elsgeest polder on a voluntary basis. Notable detail:
Hoop Doet Leven became the property of the Rijnlandse Molenstichting when the mill was half a meter above the ground. The mill was then no longer real estate and therefore fell under a more favorable tax rate.

The mill has national monument status.
