There are many mills to visit, most of which are still in use. The neighboring village has been redeveloped as a museum and shows the houses and businesses from earlier times. A visit is worth it, you can dive right into history.

The windmills on the Zaan river can be seen from afar. An open-air museum of the 19th century: the industrial revolution in the Zaanstreek (region around the river Zaan) begins. What you see on the Zaanse Schans is what a Zaaner living and working area looked like back then: with courtyards, narrow streets, wooden houses, warehouses and mills, ditches and meadows.
