Dutch windmills

Dutch windmills are traditional structures found in the Netherlands, historically used for various purposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and sawing wood. Characterized by their tall, wooden frames and large, rotating blades, these windmills harness wind energy to perform tasks that were essential for agriculture and industry. While many windmills are no longer operational, they remain iconic symbols of Dutch culture and ingenuity. Today, some are preserved as tourist attractions, showcasing the country's rich heritage and the evolution of renewable energy technologies.
