Explore the breathtaking beauty of Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases the Netherlands at its most iconic. Home to 19 historic windmills, Kinderdijk is a masterpiece of Dutch ingenuity and a symbol of the country's centuries-long battle with water. Because here, the mills were used as wind-driven water pumps to make land out of water. And they stood the test of time since the 18th century. Step inside an authentic windmill to experience life as it once was for the millers and their families. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, nature lover, or photography fan, Kinderdijk offers an unforgettable journey through the Netherlands’ rich heritage.
