The Laakmolen is a polder mill in the current The Hague (Laakkwartier) located on the Haagse Vliet on the corner of the Laakkade and the Trekweg. The Laakmolen, an 8-sided ground sailer, dates from 1699 and is partly built on the foundations of a former mill. The mill was built on behalf of the Delfland Water Board and, together with the Broeksloot Mill or New Mill, had to ensure that the water in the Noordpolder remained at the desired height. The water was pumped from the Laak into the basin. The Haagse Vliet was the basin water.
