Ir. D.F. Wouda Steam Pumping Station The D.F. Woudagemaal in the town of Lemmer is the world's largest steam pumping station still in working condition. The pumping station was opened in 1920 by Queen Wilhelmina for the purpose of pumping excess water from Friesland into the Zuyder Zee, the present-day IJsselmeer. The imposing brick building is austere and functional, in line with the architectural style of the Amsterdam School. In 1966, the electrically driven J.L. Hoogland pumping station in Stavoren took over the task of the steam pumping station in Lemmer. And yet, even today, the historic D.F. Woudagemaal plays a crucial role in extreme conditions. In cases of extremely high water, the old steam pumping station is deployed to drain excess water into the IJsselmeer as quickly as possible. The D.F. Woudagemaal has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998.

Reviewed By Robert937 - Rotterdam, The Netherlands
A Dutch reformed church from 1716 (architect Auke Bouwes Disma) located in the center of the village. Austere in style, but in a way charming as well with tower and wooden octagonal shaped clockwork with spire. Note the bronze WOII memorial plaque above the main entrance showing a person releasing a dove and text 'Har dea us frijdom' meaning 'She died for our freedom'.
