- Zaanse Schans - Here we have the opportunity to visit the best windmills in Holland.
In the Seventeenth Century the Zaanse Schans was the biggest industrial area in the world. A Dutch windmill basically was a little factory. Each windmill was custom build for producing various products like paint, cooking oil, paper and wood.
On the bank of the river Zaan hundreds of windmills were grinding, pounding, sawing and crushing. Products of the Zaanse Schans were exported all over the world.
The dozen windmills on the Zaanse Schans are still fully operational. On a good windy day we’ll see them turning at full speed.
