The Stoomgemaal Vier Noorder Koggen is a pumping station and listed building located on the IJsselmeer at Medemblik in the Netherlands. Constructed in 1869, the steam engines operated until the completion of an electric pumping station at Wervershoof in 1975. In 1985 the building was used as a storage facility for the Dutch Steam Museum. In 2010 the Dutch Water Board committed 6.8 million Euros to refurbish the building into a working museum. It will also be available as an emergency pumping station during severe flooding.
