Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Kinderdijk is most famous for the windmills that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage and are some of the most pictured landmarks in Holland. The first nineteen of these windmills were built in 1740 as part of a flood prevention system and stand today as a symbol of the iconic Dutch water management system. Two of the windmills are museums and are some of the most visited attractions in Kinderdijk as well as the Wisboomgemaal Visitors’ Center. Rotterdam and Dordrecht, which is the oldest city in Holland, are also very easily accessible from Kinderdijk . Many visitors to the town also spend time in National Park De Biesbosch, which is known for its freshwater tidal pools and wildlife.
