Hi, Netherland Never eat herringequal to didn’t come to the NetherlandHerring mealFlag dayWINDMILLWindmills have always played a great part in the life of Netherland and its inhabitant.While at first they served to grind corn, to remove excess water from the low-lying districts, and to saw timber, thus making the country fit for human habitation and adding to habitable area, they developed - especially in the seventeenth century - into a most important factor in the social structure of those days. It is with increasing interest that one learns about this. Although it can be said that windmills which can be compared with the Dutch windmills are to be found in other European countries as well (England, Belgium, France, Denmark, Germany, Finland), it has to be observed that their number is relatively small there.

These windmills moreover are in very reasonable, many of them even in excellent, condition and a considerable number of them are working regularly.There are windmills of the most varied types: drainage mills, corn mills, and industrial mills for all sorts of purposes.
