The Noordermolen stands on Noorddijkerweg in Noorddijk, municipality of Groningen and is located in the Kardinge nature reserve. It is an octagonal mill of the ground-sailer type built as a polder mill with an auger to drain the Noorderpolder. The year of construction of this mill is 1888 and it came to replace the 1864 mill that burned down that year. Owner of the mill for many years was Molenstichting Hunsingo en Omstreken, the current owner is Stichting De Groninger Poldermolens.
The mill is located in the Kardinge nature reserve just northwest of the city of Groningen. A nice thing about this area around the Noordermolen is that the verges here are sown with all kinds of flowers. There are also beautiful cycling and walking paths. The mill is somewhat at the back of the field and is surrounded by ditches, cycle paths and farmland.
