Kinderdijk - Windmills

 
The 19 Kinderdijk windmills, ranging in date between 1722 and 1761, are the largest surviving concentration of windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills, originally used to drain the fenlands, are now protected as national monuments. Their huge sails have a span of up to 28m/92ft. One of the mills is open to the public from April to September, and in July and August 17 of the mills are set in motion on Saturdays (molendagen, "mill days").
