Sint Pancras

Sint Pancras (West Frisian: Sundebankreas) is a town in the northwestern Netherlands.

It is located in the municipality of Dijk en Waard, North Holland, about 5 km northeast of Alkmaar.

The village was founded in the 14th century, after the village of Vronen was destroyed by John I, Count of Holland, because West Friesland had revolted against his rule in 1297.

It was one of ten wind mills to drain the excess water from the polder and the only one remaining.

In 2010, it was restored to working order, however the drainage canal had been filled up.
