Netherlands Mill De Salamander with pond and bridge view, Leidenschendam

Mill De Salamander in Leidschendam is a rare and beautifully restored sawmill dating back to 1778. Nestled by the water, it once played a vital role in the Dutch timber trade, using wind power to cut massive tree trunks into planks. After a fire in 1953, the mill was left in ruins for decades—until local efforts brought it back to life. Today, its sails turn once more, and visitors can experience the powerful mechanics of old craftsmanship. With its charming location near a pond and bridge, it offers a glimpse into the Netherlands’ rich industrial heritage, all set in a peaceful and picturesque landscape.

There are some parking spots in the surroundings.
