There are 19 windmills in this area, these are 5 of them. They were built around 1740 to fight against the #1 Dutch enemy: water. Today there are about 1000 windmills in this country, preserved as one of their legacy in the history of water management. Some of them are converted into tourist attractions, but many are still used as they were built for. This area is also listed in the UNESCO World heritage list.
