Overwaard Mill No.2 is a windmill in Kinderdijk, in the Dutch municipality of Molenlanden. The mill was built in 1740 by order of the Overwaard water board. After many years of grinding the bosom, fate struck. On April 12, 1981, a fire broke out due to a leaking gas cylinder. The mill was so badly damaged that the octagon had to be pulled down. The mill was only insured against fire for 75,000 guilders. On March 28, 1983, the foundation for the reconstruction of the windmill in Kinderdijk was founded. Two years later, reconstruction began. On 26 April 1985, Prince Claus put the rebuilt mill into operation. The flight of the mill is 29.56 m., which means that the mill Overwaard No.2 had the largest flight of all Dutch mills until the reconstruction of basin mill no. 6 in Haastrecht in 2011.
2. Kleine of Lage Molen
The Kleine or Lage Molen is a ground sailer on the Boezemkade in the Dutch Nieuw-Lekkerland. It was built in 1761 to replace an earlier seesaw mill that had been badly damaged by storms. The Kleine or Lage Molen is one of the Kinderdijk windmills. The Lage molen functioned as a lower mill and, together with the disappeared Oude Molen, pumped the water from the polder to the lower basin. The High Mill pumped the water out to the High Basin. When in 1966 the paddle wheel of the Hoge Molen was replaced by an auger and the mill was able to raise the water directly from the polder level, the Lage Molen lost its function. Since 1997, the polder has discharged the excess water directly into the Lage Boezem of the Overwaard via an auger pumping station.
