The paaltjasker was built in 1978 for the Floriade (flower show) of 1982 and was left behind after its end. It was restored in 2003 after being derelict for some years, though it is not really functional because of its sheltered position. The tjasker has four Common sails. It is located in the public park surrounding the Gaasperplas lake and can be reached on foot.

The boktjasker was built around 1875 near Wâlterswâld. It was donated to the Netherlands Open Air Museum and re-erected there in 1928 as a static object. It was moved to a different site in the museum grounds in 2002 after spending some years in storage though still not operational because of its sheltered wind free location. The tjasker has four Common sails, which have a span of 6.90 metres (22 ft 8 in), making it the largest tjasker in the Netherlands. It is also one of only three boktjaskers left in the Netherlands. The mill can be visited during opening hours of the museum.
