Ir.D.F. Woudagemaal
The ir. D.F. Woudagemaal (ir. Wouda pumping station) in the Netherlands, is the biggest currently running steam-powered pumping station in the world. On October 7 1920 Queen Wilhelmina opened the pumping station that is used to pump out redundant water from Friesland.
In 1967, after 47 years running on coal, the boilers were rebuilt to run on oil.
Since 1998 the ir. D.F. Woudagemaal has been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
Location
The pumping station is located just outside Lemmer.
It can be reached from the A6 turnoff for Lemmer (N359). Follow signs for Lemmer, but continue on the N359. You will cross a bridge with a marina on the right hand side, take the next left turn, and then left again.
If you reach miles of flat grass land, you have gone too far and need to travel back.
