In our beautiful province of Friesland The Netherlands, we have much to do with water. The Netherlands is known for its water management and that goes back hundreds of years. The Wouda pumping station is an example of genius how to control the water. 100 years ago, Mr. Wouda steam pumping station built this and is still in use. The Wouda pumping station is part of a larger work in the Netherlands to keep dry the country. Everything works very well, thanks to the knowledge and experience of all good mechanics. Everything is in original condition and as you enter it's like you've stepped into a time machine. Even the smell reminds you that it was once like then.
Also is the steam pumping station in the World Heritage list of UNESCO.
