Kinderdijk windmills: unique & iconic water management.
A significant part of Holland is situated up to approximately 7 meters below sea level.

The most important aspect of UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk is undoubtedly the unique collection of 19 authentic windmills, which are considered a Dutch icon throughout the entire world.
