Beemster Polder
Local name: Droogmakerij de Beemster
Polder, a depressing area artificially drained and surrounded by dikes, dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. The orderly arrangement of fields, roads, canals and settlements was laid out with Renaissance planning principles and has survived to modern times. The area is constantly drained thanks to the work of 42 windmills.
