DescriptionThe Windmills of Kinderdijk are a remarkable collection of 19 windmills located in the Dutch village of Kinderdijk, near Rotterdam. Built around 1740, these iconic structures were designed to manage water levels in the low-lying Alblasserwaard polder, preventing flooding in this below-sea-level region. The windmills, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, are an enduring symbol of Dutch ingenuity in water management. Visitors can explore the scenic landscape, learn about the history of the windmills, and witness firsthand the engineering marvels that have helped shape the Netherlands.Source: https://www.peterlschuller.com/
