Woudagemaal
The Ir. D.F. Wouda Steam Pumping Station,
The largest still-functioning steam pumping station in the world dates back to 1920 and has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1998. This monumental steam giant is
still used by Wetterskip Fryslân to ensure dry feet in Friesland.
For young and old visitors alike, the Woudagemaal is an educational and fun experience. Here you can learn everything about the operation of the old steam pumping station from past and present.
The Woudagemaal and the visitor center are open all year round.
