The Stadsmolen or Stadspoldermolen in the Dutch city of Leiden is a polder mill built in 1856 to replace an earlier mill from 1806. The strongly bottle-shaped masonry mill was in operation until 1966. In 1979 the mill was restored, and the hull appeared to be torn in several places. It was then decided to demolish the Stadsmolen to the ground and rebuild it. The mill is located on the Slaaghsloot, a ditch that was popularly called "Stinksloot", because carcasses were buried next to it. The miller's house next to the Stadsmolen was built because the mill smelled too bad to live in.
