Nederwaard Molen 8 is one of the Kinderdijk windmills in the Dutch municipality of Molenlanden. The mill, dating from 1738, is inhabited and cannot be visited. The owner is the Kinderdijk World Heritage Foundation. The mill has an iron paddle wheel with a diameter of 6.50 meters that drains the low basin of the Nederwaard. Nederwaard No.8 is the only one of the Nederwaard windmills that has never been raised. As a result, the mill has the shortest rods of the eight mills. On February 23, 2006, the king's spindle broke during grinding. Mill No.8 was last restored in 2008.
