Based on what you have said you dig along side the poles enough to know just the poles are in the ground. So here's my suggestion: 1) you have to support the roof structure while you fixing the poles. Set a temporary pole close on some kind of pad and even lift the roof a little. 2) Cut and dig out the rotten wood and dig the hole at least 3 feet but get below the frost line and under the pole. Square up the bottom and pour a pad maybe foot and half by 6 inches 3) Buy a one foot cardboard cylinder, they are available at any decent building supply, set it on the pad and backfill around it tight then pour it full of concrete, probably a couple of 60 lb. bags. 4) After it set up attach the pole to it.
Stops the rot and if I remember right the water table in Holland isn't very deep. If you get the bottom of the pole out of the ground the building will last better.
