You won't find a windmill complex like the one in Kinderdijk anywhere else in the world. The ingenious system of mills and pumping stations has kept the soil here dry for centuries, in a constant battle between human ingenuity and the power of water. Visitors from all corners of the world come to experience this unique piece of history for themselves. Because Kinderdijk is a monument of human history, we have been officially on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997, shoulder to shoulder with the most famous and special buildings and places on earth. In this way the story of Kinderdijk is incorporated into world history, safely preserved for future generations.
