The Slagdijkster Molen near the North Frisian village of Stiens was destroyed by a large fire last night. The polder mill dated from 1864 and was fully restored in 2006. "The mill largely consisted of thatch and can be considered lost," according to Baukje Boekema of the fire department at Omrop Fryslân.
