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 />
