Sint Anthoniepolder is a hamlet in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is located about 14 km south of the city of Rotterdam, in the municipality of Hoeksche Waard.[1]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 16th century, but has a tower from before 1358.[2] The Poldersche Molen is a polder mill from 1749. In 1935, a pumping station was installed, but the windmill remained in service until c. 1957. Between 1974 and 1977, it was restored and is regularly in service, because during a storm the windmill can drain more than twice as much water than the pumping station.[3]
Sint Anthoniepolder was a separate municipality from 1817 to 1839, when it became part of Maasdam.[4]
Sint Anthoniepolder is not a statistical entity,[5] and considered part of Klaaswaal. It has place name signs, however there is a directional sign to Sint Anthoniepolder. The hamlet consists of about 60 houses.[2]
