Windmills and Watermills

The Netherlands' landscape is defined by its historic mills, ranging from the towering wooden De Gooyer in Amsterdam to the intricate drainage systems of Friesland. This collection features diverse engineering styles, including hollow post mills like De Jansmolen, traditional smock mills, and rare watermills like the undershot Spoordonkse Watermolen. Many of these structures, such as the 18th-century stage mill in Axel, have been meticulously restored to working order, preserving centuries of Dutch agricultural and industrial heritage across provinces like Overijssel, Zeeland, and Gelderland.
