De Jager ("The Hunter") sits on the south bank of the Ee, directly across from 't Lam, and is the second of Woudsend's two surviving smock mills. It was built in 1719 as a poldermill — pumping water out of the surrounding meadows back into the lake system — and operated in that role for over two and a half centuries before being restored in the late 20th century.
The mill is shorter and stockier than 't Lam and easier to photograph from the bridge. Like its neighbour, it is run by volunteers and opens to visitors on Saturdays in season. Inside, the original Archimedean screw — the timber spiral used to lift water — is still in place at ground level.
