If windmills weren't put here in Kinderdijke, then the entire place would have been a bog into which a man's boots would have simply sunk! Kinderdijke is unique. It tells the story of man against nature, seeking to carve out a place in a wet and boggy world! Dutch icons, built between 1739 and 1740, the polder mills are a step into the past. And two of the original mills can still be seen! During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the mills were replaced with pumping stations; but in Kinderdijke, you can see how (for nearly one thousand years) these windmills battled the water. The Kinderdijke-Elshout complex (as it is known) was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997. And families still live in them!
