Cabauw - Middle mill (Seesaw mill )
The middle or second millis built in 1773, as a watermill. The original mill at this place was built in 1454, but was demolished in 1598 to make way for a stronger mill with more capacity. This mill was destroyed by fire in 1772, after which the current mill is built. The mill has undergone restorations in 1998 and 2007/2008 but is able to grind again now. The mill is in the middle of an open polder area.
The seesaw mill (or water seesaw) is the oldest type of polder mill in the Netherlands and developed from the post mill at the beginning of the fifteenth century. According to some sources, the first seesaws were built in the Netherlands in 1407
