De Broekmolen, Broeksterwâld

De Broekmolen is a smock mill in Broeksterwâld, Friesland, Netherlands which has been restored to working order.

[1] De Broekmolen was built in 1876 by millwrights Wietse Jurjen en Comp.

[3] The sails were fitted with Dekker streamlined leading edges in 1937 by millwright Westra of Franeker.

A diesel engine was installed as auxiliary power in 1961 and the Archimedes' screw was renewed.

The four Common sails have a span of 16.70 metres (54 ft 9 in) and are carried in a cast-iron windshaft.
