Schiedam mills
In the city center of Schiedam you will see three Schiedam Windmills, the tallest classic windmills in the world. This unique Dutch heritage is one of the six remaining examples of the original twenty Schiedam stone tower city mills. In these city mills, malted grain was ground for the roasters that distilled malt wine for the gin industry. Until 2006 (when the 42.5 meter high Molen Nolet was completed), the Noord from 1803 was the second highest in the world at 33.3 meters. De Vrijheid dates from 1785. De Drie Koornbloemen is the oldest of the set: it dates from 1770.
