Medemblik steam museum

The pumping station's installations are mostly still present and partly functioning.

The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage, and the building and parts its interior are registered as a Rijksmonument, a national heritage site.

[1] In 1984 the old pumping station, bearing the name "Vier Noorder Koggen", was preserved in the shape of a museum.

For more than hundred years, the pumping station played a significant role in the process of keeping the region West-Friesland habitable by pumping away rain water.

The models are exhibited together in order to illustrate the history of the Industrial Revolution in the Netherlands.
