Kinderdijk

Elder Bair, Elder Brownell, Elder Alexander, and Elder Garrett enjoy a P-Day together at Kinder Dijk.

Kinderdijk is the only place in the world where you can find so many windmills concentrated on such a short area. There are 19 windmills, one dating back to 1521. There is so much history here. Windmills are an integral part of the history of Holland. Kinderdijk is the final station of the water of the Alblasserwaard, an area that is approximately 10 by 20 miles wide, before the river Lek takes it to the sea. And even today we still need to dispose the water which comes from rain, but since the 1950's the function of the windmills has been taken over by the pumping station which is one of the largest in the world.
