Open-air museum with small green wooden houses in the typical Zaanstreek style, craftsmen (clog makers and cheese factories are worth seeing) and a whole series of industrial mills - most of which can be visited for a small fee (de Kat is recommended).

Zaanse Schans Windmills

Highlight • Monument

There are many mills to visit, most of which are still in use. The neighboring village has been redeveloped as a museum and shows the houses and businesses from earlier times. A visit is worth it, you can dive right into history.
