Named for Hermanus Johannes Lovink, an agriculturist who was extensively involved in land reclamation, the station was designed by Dirk Roosenburg and completed in 1956.

The pumping station is situated along Provincial Road N306 in the southern part of Biddinghuizen, a village in the municipality of Dronten, Flevoland, the Netherlands.

[2] Above the entrance is a tableau by J. M. Roosenburg that depicts a farmer and fisherman, one landward and one seaward, shaking hands over a dyke.

[2][3] The interior of the main block contains the engine room, which holds two vertical centrifugal pumps driven by three-phase motors.

Most of the engine room is open, showing the concrete truss construction, though an enclosed area contains a battery for the transformer as well as a diesel generator.

[6] The station was named for Hermanus Johannes Lovink (1866–1938), an agriculturalist who had overseen extensive land reclamation and afforestation projects as the director of the Association for Wasteland Redevelopment and as a member of the House of Representatives.

This designation was based on its historical value in the reclamation of the Flevopolder, its architectural value as an example of modernism, the artistic value of its terracotta relief, and its integrity.
