The Molendriegang near Leidschendam is a mill corridor consisting of three windmills. The windmills were built around 1672 to dry-mill De Driemanspolder (later merged into the Nieuwe Driemanspolder). The sub mill was struck by lightning and burned down in 1902 and was replaced by a new one in 1903. In 1945 a new pump was installed in the sub-mill, but it had too little capacity. For that reason the three-aisle was taken out of operation in 1951.
The three mills, owned by the province of Zuid-Holland, have been restored in recent years and are milling. The pump in the sub-mill was replaced in 2006 by a pump with a larger capacity, making the three mills more balanced. There are no visiting possibilities.
