Back to the 18th century in this Open Air Museum: De Zaanse Schans. Old windmills, "De Kat" is still working and makes chalk (not flour). I can know because I tried it! Definitely worth going. It's also the location of the FIRST Albert Heijn grocery store :-)

A great place to step back hundreds of years into working windmills.

Worth a visit! Collection of paintings, photos, films objects and stories that show the rich cultural and industrial past of the Zaans region. Test your skills in the chocolate and biscuit factory!

The Zaans Museum introduces you to a world-famous piece of Holland: Holland with its windmills, industries, green wooden houses, and Dutch icons such as Albert Heijn, Honig, and Verkade. This journey will take you from the very first windmills to the newest factories.
