De Prinsenmolen

Facts and practical information

The Prinsenmolen is a ground-sailer from 1648 on the Rotte river in the Rotterdam borough of Hillegersberg. In 1881, the Berg en Broekse Verlaat steam pumping station was built and the Bergsche Molen, which until then kept the polder dry together with the Prinsenmolen, was demolished. The Prinsenmolen drained the Berg en Broek polder until 1966, but is now out of service and has a residential function. The Prinsenmolen is able to grind.

Owner since 2005 is Hoogheemraadschap van Schieland en de Krimpenerwaard.
