Netherlands De Salamander' saw mill, Leidschendam
The first wood sawmill was built in 1643 and after a fire largely destroyed in 1773. Some years later the mill was rebuilt by the new owner. For the past centuries various timber merchants owned De Salamander. At the end of the 19th century the mill underwent modernisation and became four saw-frames. A steam machine was installed to keep the mill operating during calm weather. In 1953 the Salamander was closed. Decay set in and through the years the mill deteriorated visibly.
