The beautiful mills of Kinderdijk during a summer winter day. The Kinderdijk mills are 19 mills in the northwestern part of the Alblasserwaard, a region in the Dutch province of South Holland. They are basin mills, which form two mill galleries and are a major (also international) tourist attraction. Since 1997, they have been on UNESCO's World Heritage List and the area is also a protected village sight. The mill rows can be easily visited only on foot or by bicycle. Three mills are open to the public. The mills at Kinderdijk were built from the end of the 15th century, but almost all of the current mills date from 1738 and 1740.
