![]() Opening hours: Wednesday and Saturday 14.00-16. There are frequent sawing demonstrations. ![]() During opening hours you can take a guided tour and ask questions about the mill. Houtzaagmolen De Salamander is one of the seven still operating sawmills in the Netherlands. The Molendriegang is a great alternative to Kinderdijk as there are not as much tourists, but then again these three windmills are not open to the public. This hidden gem is within biking distance from The Hague, Delft and Leiden about one hour of cycling through the scenic countryside. From a distance you can take postcard perfect pictures of these 28-meter high windmills in a typical Dutch landscape with polders. Unfortunately the windmills are not open to the public. Since the 1980s the iconic Molendriegang of Leidschendam has been in operation on a Saturday afternoon once a month. photo: Ricardo Bouman / Visiting the Molendriegang in Leidschendam After years of restoration, on the first National Windmill Day (6 October 1973), the classic line up of three windmills operated for the first time in over 20 years. In 1958 the Province of South Holland acquired the windmills. World War IIĭid you know that during WWII the three historic windmills were in operation more often than usual? Up to 1700 hours per year.Īfter World War II the octagonal windmills fell into a state of disrepair and neglect. Supposedly the third windmill was intended as a house for the steam pump engineer, but later also demolished. Two of the three windmills were sold for demolition. The drainage of these three mills was taken over by a steam pump station. Until 1877 the Driemanspolder was dredged by another nearby Molendriegang as well. Because the windmill in the middle was sagging, a new concrete foundation was installed. It was replaced by a new windmill in 1903. Recently the three thatched windmills have been thoroughly restored. In 1902 the Ondermolen burned down after it was struck by lightning. They were no longer need to pump away the water from the polder as this was taken over by electric pumps. The remaining three windmills (Bovenmolen, Middenmolen and Ondermolen) were taken out of service in 1951. But at this point its more expensive than something like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and it offers neither the same intensity of gameplay, nor length.Did you know that the three windmills (‘Molendriegang’ in Dutch) at Stompwijk date back to 1672? Originally, there were four windmills. I got this in a cheap bundle with the other games of the series, so Im pretty satisfied with my purchase. 3-4 would seem reasonable for a recommendation, but at this price I would be a bit more critical. In fact, I feel we dont really have enough decent ones.īut would I recommend it for the current asking price of 6,59 Euros? Im afraid not. Theres nothing wrong with a generic game, they have their place in the market. I got all the achievements from the second playthrough, so nothing tedious.Įverything seems fine, it did its job to help lower my need for distractions. I played this while doing something else, so it served its purpose well. There is a campaign, which you can complete in around 2-3 hours and a survival mode, but that one feels too random for my taste. The story is baseline and moves you along with some light dialog, gameplay has enough depth to make you think a little, but nothing too challenging and visuals are perfectly fine as well, nothing bad, but nothing stands out. ![]() In terms of story, gameplay and visuals its very simplistic. It works fine, there are no issues with it.
