Woudaap Lock
The Woudaap Lock originally dates from the 17th century, but was rebuilt in 1907.
Despite looking as it did then, the lock is still in use. Presumably, this lock was built because of the construction of the Nauernasche Vaart, which was built right through polders and allowed the water level in the area to change significantly.
The Woudaap
The Woudaap watermill has been pumping the Krommenieër-Woudpolder since 1651. Despite its age, it still turns faithfully to regulate the water level. To give the mill a helping hand, an electric pumping station has been installed next to it since 2008. This modern device can help the mill drain extra water when needed.
