Sights

Adermolen
Kaag en Braassem
http://www.allemolens.nl

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were used not only to produce flour from cereals, but also to reclaim polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, really set up as a polder model. A must see!

Boterhuismolen

3
2362 AE Teylingen

The Boterhuismolen in Warmond is a polder mill built in 1744 to replace an earlier hollow post mill from 1634. It owes its name to the polder that it can drain. The mill now drains the Boterhuispolder on a voluntary basis and has the status of a national monument.
