2008-Apr-9 - The wettest place in the Netherlands
These windmills were water mills and had to pump the water from the polder into the canal. Now an electric pump does the job and keeps the polder dry. During the war however there was no electricity and then the mills were used in their original capacity. Other Dutch windmills were used for, among other things, corn or paper industry.
One of you was saying that I should work for the tourist industry. If any of you wants to come to Holland I'd love to be your guide.BTW all these mills are now protected by Unesco and are on the list of World Heritage Sites, and they are lived in..
