Kinderdijk
To improve the region’s water-management facilities, a series of windmills were constructed near Kinderdijk around 1740. A living testament to The Netherlands’ age-old struggles with rising waters, the mill network at Kinderdijk was built to keep the surrounding region safe from floods. It was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1997 due to its cultural, historical and technological significance.Delft
