Historic Windmill

This beautiful windmill was on the way to a lakeside / seaside village.
Apparently it is a big tourist attraction for obvious reasons and unfortunately I cannot remember much about this specific windmill suffice to say that it’s primary function is to pump water around the canals for the farmers.
Most of the Netherlands is below sea level so there has been a massive reclaiming of land to protect the country from the rising water table.Læs mere
