The pumping station was built in 1927 and is equipped with a pump installation driven by electric motors. The building was built in a sleek variant of the Amsterdam School. The facades are built in clean masonry and the building has a striking tiled roof, covered with red tiles. Until recently, the pumping station drained the Schagerkoggeboezem and kept an area of 3,000 hectares dry. The pumping station has two horizontal electric screw pumps (company Pannevis). The Schagerkogge pumping station is important for the history of drainage as a very well preserved example of a pumping station. The pumping station has extra value because of its striking location in the village view of Kolhorn and because of the integrated service house. Until 2006, the pumping station served as the first electric pumping station in the Netherlands.
