Description
Southeast of Heemstede, at Cruquiusdijk 27-32 (in the direction of Hoofddorp), is the De Cruquius Museum, housed in one of the three 19th century pumping stations used to drain the Haarlemmermeer. When the other two pumping stations were enlarged it was no longer needed, and now houses a museum devoted to the Dutch struggle against water.
