Kinderdijk Windmills (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

Highlight • Monument

Nowhere in the Netherlands can you find so many windmills together as in Kinderdijk. The nineteen mills have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Museum Mill Nederwaard has been greeting visitors from all over the world for decades. Built in 1738, but still in excellent condition. See, hear and feel for yourself how the Nederwaard Museum Mill is still turning smoothly almost three centuries after its construction. Winter is also ideal for a day trip to our iconic windmills.

Kinderdijk Windmills

Highlight • Monument

A clever example of water management is being done in the Kinderdijk mill complex. The 19 mills were once built to pump water up from the low-lying polder. The complex is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

J.U. Smit Pumping Station

Highlight • Monument

This is the main pumping station. During operation, the excess water flows into the river Lek. This pumping station neatly balances the entire water balance in the vast polder behind it.
