Mill De Boezemvriend - De Groeve
Polder mill De Boezemvriend, even though it did not yet bear this name at the time, was built in 1871 to replace a predecessor and drained the Zuidlaren polder. The mill remained in use until 1934. In that year, an electric motor was installed in the mill, which took over its task. Over the years, the mill fell into more and more disrepair. By 1960, the mill looked very sad.
Restoration began in 1962. The interior working machinery had already disappeared by then. The mill was restored again in 1989, including the installation of new working machinery. On 5 April 1990, the mill was officially put back into operation. The mill now serves as an auxiliary pumping station for the Oostermoerse Vaart Water Board and has been known as De Boezemvriend since 1991.
