Windmills of kinderdijk<br />

The Netherlands is famous for its windmills. To date there are still<br />

more than 1.000 mills. Nowhere in the world will you find as many<br />

windmills as near the Dutch village Kinderdijk. Around 1740, no<br />

less than 19 sturdy mills were built here and have been well preserved<br />

to the present day.<br />

The mills drain the excess<br />

water from the Alblasserwaard<br />

polders – which are<br />

situated below sea-level –<br />

after which the water is<br />

sluiced into the river Lek.<br />

The powerful windmill<br />

sails serve to transmit<br />

the force of the wind on<br />

to large paddle-wheels<br />

which scoop up the water.<br />

Nowadays powerdriven<br />

pumping engines do the job, including one of the largest<br />

water screw pumping-station in <strong>Euro</strong>pe.<br />

The foundation „Wereld Erfgoed Kinderdijk“ maintains and preserves<br />

the windmills in Kinderdijk. The preservation is not limited<br />

to the windmills themselves, but also covers the area in which the<br />

windmills are situated. In 1997 the mills of Kinderdijk were put on<br />

the World Heritage List of UNESCO.<br />
