The Week en Braken Mill was built in1632 to manage the small Obdam Polder. The mill was replaced by a network of small electric pumps in 1966, and stood idle until 1973, when it was sold to the town, and restored to working order. Today, the mill is the only working wipmolen located to the north of the North Sea Canal. The mill can regularly be seen in operation, and tours are available by appointment.
