The Zaanse Schans is a historic Zaan neighborhood established in 1963 in the municipality of Zaanstad with national monumental wooden buildings and industrial mills from the Zaan region relocated there. Over time, it has been supplemented by several cultural-historical museums, craft stores and restaurants. It is located in the Kalverpolder, a protected peat meadow landscape on the Zaan River, opposite the village of Zaandijk. This architectural reserve for Zaanse timber construction is a protected village sight because of its architectural-historical and scenic value. It developed into an international tourist destination with several million visitors annually.
