The Zaanse Schans is one of the highlights of the Netherlands, just outside Amsterdam in Zaandijk. Be part of a vibrant and stunning living and working community that dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries. At the time, the surrounding Zaan region was an important industrial area and hundreds of windmills there helped produce linseed oil, paint, snuff, mustard, paper and other products. In the Zaanse Schans you find wooden wind mills, barns, houses and museums and built in the typically Dutch wooden architectural style, relocated here piece by piece since 1961. Watch traditional crafts such as clog- and cheese making or visit the windmills and traditional buildings.
The wind mills were built after 1574. You see:
De Huisman (The Houseman), a mustardmill
De Gekroonde Poelenburg (The Crowned Poelenburg), a sawmill
De Kat (The Cat), a dyemill
Het Jonge Schaap (The Young Sheep), a sawmill
De Os (The Ox), an oilmill
De Zoeker (The Seeker), an oilmill
Het Klaverblad (The Cloverleaf), a sawmill
De Bonte Hen (The Spotted Hen), an oilmill
