The Slagdijkstermolen, a historic polder mill near the Frisian village of Stiens, was destroyed in a major fire during the night from Friday to Saturday. The fire brigade found the mill already ablaze after receiving the first report shortly after 00:30, and the structure collapsed soon after the first crews arrived.

No one was injured and the cause of the fire is unknown. Firefighters kept nearby homes wet because of flying sparks. The mill dated from 1864 and had been restored in 2006.
