Zaanse Schans -Windmill Village of the Netherlands

Zaanse Schans is a small village in the region of Zaandam. It is well known for its collection of windmills and wooden houses that were relocated here from the wider region north of Amsterdam for preservation.
The Zaan region, the oldest industrial area in Western Europe, once simultaneously had around six hundred windmills operating. This was a direct result of trade in the Dutch Golden Age (17th century).
The windmills were built after 1574.
