Kinderdijk, located in the province of South Holland, is an iconic Dutch UNESCO World Heritage Site that impressively illustrates the Netherlands' age-old struggle against water. This unique complex consists of 19 authentic mills, dating back to the 18th century, working harmoniously with dykes, pumping stations and sluices to keep the low-lying polder land dry. The mills, which had different functions such as pumping water and grinding grain, are perfectly preserved and offer a fascinating glimpse of Dutch hydraulic engineering and ingenuity.
