Molens van Kinderdijk – Hollands molenlandschap vol historie | Bijzonder Gebouwd

A row of sails turning in the wind: the image of the Kinderdijk windmills (South Holland) looks like something straight out of a postcard. This complex of 19 windmills is not only beautiful to behold, but also a marvel of ingenuity in the Netherlands' battle against water. Since the 18th century, these windmills have been pumping away excess polder water and keeping the land dry – all powered by wind! No wonder Kinderdijk has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk with us along the rippling waterways and tall sails. We explain how the windmills work together via an ingenious system of waterways and sluices. You will get a glimpse inside a windmill to see how the miller used to live and work. We also tell the stories of the mill families and the unique architectural style of these Dutch polder windmills. After this video, you will understand why this windmill landscape holds such an important place in both the history and architecture of the Netherlands. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos: https://bit.ly/VorticalFeatures 📌 More about Vortical: Visit our website: https://vortical.nl About us: https://vortical.nl/vortical-video About Features: https://vortical.nl/vortical-features 🛒 Support us, visit the webshop!
