binnenkruier (windmill of which the inside works is movable),
build around 1578. In 1973-1974 it was put on its current place and
since then it is put in operation regularly to drain the 650 hectare
large Twiske-polder with its mortar, as under-draining of the polder
Oostzaan. The mill stood in Barsingerhorn till the sixties of the last
century (20th), where it drained the Hooglandspolder for a
long time.
