Nederland - Zaanse Schans
The area around the Zaanse Schans, called the Zaanstreek, once was the largest industrial zone in Western Europe. During the 18th and 19th century heyday it used to have more than 600 windmills; 245 were sawing mills and 160 oil mills. Built for industrial functions, they were used for grinding grain, making wood for shipbuilding, pressing oil from seeds, making paper from hemp and a lot of cocoa was also produced in the Zaan region.
Starting in the 1960’s, these historical mills and other threatened and antique buildings were moved to the Zaanse Schans to create a collection and to preserve them. Nowadays there are 12 windmills on the Zaanse Schans and four more in the vicinity. Most of the mills were moved in the last century, some stood already at their current location along the river Zaan and some have been completely rebuilt according to the original plans.
Most of the mills are owned by the Vereniging de Zaansche Molen, which is also responsible for the maintenance and operation of the mills. Seven fully operative windmills and the mill museum belonging to them can be visited. The Zaanse Schans is one of the most popular windmill sites in the Netherlands.

Have agreat weekend.
Jaap van 't Veen club has replied to cp_u clubBon dimanche. Amitiés
Thiis collection of windmills is amazing and you've photographed them beautifully. The main image is particularly beautiful with that gorgeous green mill in the foreground, but the images in the PiPs are equally as good. Another superb travel series!
Die Zahlen sind sehr eindrucksvoll. Man würde sich wünschen das Gebiet in seiner früheren Aussprägung sehen zu könne.
Ein schönes Wochenende
das sieht klasse aus. Ich war vor zwei Jahren dort. Leider waren die Massen da.
