From Amsterdam to the most beautiful windmills in the Netherlands

By Henneke on 28 April 2023 Mills in Holland, the Netherlands

The Netherlands is known for its iconic windmills, which are not only functional but also a significant part of Dutch culture and history. There are many beautiful mills scattered throughout the country, but here are a few notable ones:

There are many beautiful windmills located throughout the Netherlands, and some of the most well-known ones can be found in the countryside outside of Amsterdam. Here are a few options for visiting some of the most beautiful windmills in the Netherlands:

Zaanse Schans: This open-air museum is located just 15 kilometers north of Amsterdam and features several well-preserved windmills. You can see traditional Dutch crafts being demonstrated, explore historic homes, and take a boat tour of the nearby waterways.

Kinderdijk Windmills: In South Holland near Rotterdam is Kinderdijk with 19 windmills that were built around 1740 and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can take a boat tour, explore the windmills up close, and learn about the history of the area.

Things to do in Dordrecht, Holland. Visit Kinderdijk.

Schiedam: This small town near Rotterdam is home to the tallest windmills in the world, which were used for grinding grain and producing gin. Visitors can climb to the top of the windmills for a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.

Haarlem: Mill De Adriaan: This windmill is located in the center of Haarlem, just a short train ride from Amsterdam. Visitors can tour the inside of the windmill and learn about its history as a sawmill, corn mill, and oil mill.

Amsterdam: Mill De Gooyer: This is one of the few remaining windmills in Amsterdam, and it’s located next to the Brouwerij ‘t IJ brewery. Visitors can climb to the top of the windmill for a great view of the city and then sample some local beers at the brewery.

Leiden: Mill De Valk – Located in Leiden, this historic windmill has been fully restored and is now a museum where visitors can learn about the history of windmills and the role they played in Dutch society
