De Herder is an octagonal, thatched stage mill located in Medemblik. It's a smock mill equipped with two connected millstones. Up until 1047 the same location housed an earlier mill, which was demolished because it hadn't been functional in a long time and was not needed any more. For this reason, the materials could not be used any longer when reconstruction took place.
