Welcome to the website of De Vlieger Windmill in Voorburg
From April till October, you can visit the windmill at Wednesdays and Saturdays from 13.30 till 16.30 pm.
Polder mill
De Vlieger Windmill is a polder mill, built in 1621 to drain the Veen- en Binckhorst polder. With its scoop wheel, measuring more than 5 metres in diameter, it can drain up to a metre of water from the polder. Nowadays, however, the polder is drained by an electrically driven pumping station elsewhere in Voorburg. De Vlieger Windmill is still fully operational, though, and runs regularly.
Visitors
De Vlieger Windmill is open to visitors from 1 April to 31 October on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from 13.30 to 16.30. Admission is €3 for adults and €1 for children (pay via card or cash), and visitors are shown round the mill by the miller or one of the volunteer guides.
Groups may contact our team to make an appointment via info@molendevlieger.nl or by tel. +31 (0)6 85795217.
The address is Essepad 3, 2272 JS Voorburg. The mill is easy to reach, both by car and by public transport (see Map ). There is plenty of space to park. It is a 10-minute walk from the Leidschendam-Voorburg tram stop (tram number 3 or 4 (RandstadRail) from The Hague central railway station). Buses 45 and 46 stop at the same location as the trams.
