Kinderdijk

Kinderdijk is a historic village in the Netherlands known for its impressive system of 19 traditional windmills. Built in the 18th century, these windmills were used to manage water levels in the low-lying land, preventing flooding and draining water from the polders. Today, Kinderdijk is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a popular tourist destination, showcasing Dutch water management techniques and engineering skills. The windmills serve as a symbol of the Netherlands' ongoing relationship with water and their innovative approaches to living below sea level.
