Kinderdijk

This is my second time to Kinderdijk, both for the same reason i.e. to bring some guests to see the traditional windmills. Despite of the sunny weather, it was a bit cold when we arrived especially when the place is surrounded by water.

It is a village in the Netherlands situated in a polder at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands
