Night at Kinderdijk Bath Mat
Night at Kinderdijk is an oil painting of real existing scenery in the Netherlands. The wind mills of Kinderdijk are very famous for its beauty!
I have lived in North Holland and love those ancient mills, especially at the sunset.
Windmills are an Old Holland tourist attraction – a quaint symbol of Dutch tradition – and visiting one makes for a lovely day out. Did you know that there were once more than 10,000 fully operational windmills in the Netherlands?
A gentle creak and a soft ‘whoosh’ as the sails zip past is all you hear when standing close to a windmill. These days, it’s easy to forget that a century or so ago this sound was ubiquitous.
A trip to Kinderdijk will put you right in the middle of a masterful engineering feat and World UNESCO Site. This is where you will truly see just how astoundingly simple, yet powerful these gentle giants can be. You will witness the soggy ground of the Netherlands, ride a boat through the waterways, and see Windmills which are still occupied and operated to keep the towns dry.
Kinderdijk is also the site of the old St Elizabeth's flood, where Kinderdijk actually means 'Children's Dyke' after a cradle had been found bobbing up and down in the water after the flood with, what is assumed, the house cat keeping the cradle steady.
Dutch started building windmills to use them grinding grains
In the past, ancient people build windmills to take advantage of the change and generate power. However, due to the special geographical features of the Netherland, Dutch people built windmills to pump water out of the lowlands and back into the rivers beyond the dikes to deal with flooding issues. In addition to those, windmills have been also used to power many other industrial processes, including paper mills, threshing mills, and to process oil seeds, wool, paints, and stone products.
