Schermerhorn, Netherlands
About
Schermer Molens Stichting is a foundation based in Schermerhorn, Netherlands working on heritage.
The Schermer Molens Stichting owns and maintains 15 historic polder mills in the Schermer area of North Holland, Netherlands, most of which are rijksmonumenten. It runs the Museummolen in Schermerhorn as a public museum with a visitor centre, and operates De Otter as a working grain mill. Many mills are inhabited by miller-residents, while volunteers staff visitor reception and carry out winter maintenance. The foundation carries out restoration projects, such as the Strijkmolen K and Poldermolen D projects, and is partly funded by government and province, private funds and museum income. It is an ANBI-registered organisation.
