Mills in mourning after the death of farmer and manager Wiepke Schukken

Jem Boet

The Babuurstermolen in Tjerkwerd is in mourning. The octagonal polder mill was built in 1882 and is land-based, meaning that the rods reach the ground and there is therefore no scaffolding. Until the arrival of a pumping station in 1990, the mill drained the area independently. Since 2006, the mill has served as a backup pumping station in the event of severe flooding. There is a miller's house near the mill yard.
