[2025 Kinderdijk Attraction] Travel Guide for Kinderdijk (Updated Feb)

#newyearadventure When we visit to Kinderdijk Netherlands, the ticket is included the entrance to this Pumping Station. Dating back to 1868, the Wisboom pumping station was originally operated with a steam engine until it was converted to electric power in 1924. In this station, firstly we are able to play a “game” by controlling the windmill to get more wind to generate into power for the water management system. Next we can see the engine room, where the guide will explain to us on how’s the engine work. It’s a nice and fun trip!

30 mins away from Rotterdam is a small village called Kinderdijk. It is a UNESCO heritage. It is famous for its 18th century windmills. And to believe that people actually lived in Windmills back then, some of them still do. I left a piece of my heart there. It’s a beautiful village with wonderful people. There is a museum and a souvenir store at the site where you can get magnets and postcards. #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #rotterdam #windmill #europetravel

#2023travelwish The second museum mill we visited is Blokweer Museum Mill which in Dutch is Museummolen Blokweer. This mill is the oldest among the windmill in Kinderdijk. Built in 1630, it is well maintained by the mill caretakers. When you visit this mill, you can experience how a miller family lived about seventy years ago. You’ll not only see what it looked like inside the mill at that time, but you’ll also see the garden and the animals of the miller’s family.

#2023travelwish The first windmill we visited is Nederwaard Museum Mill. It is one of the three museum that can be visited. For decades now, this mill has been welcoming visitors from around the world. Built in 1738, the old engine is still in prime shape. We can see how the Dutch lived in the windmill in old days. This mill used to house 13 members in the family. When we stepped in, we are able to see the room, the living space, play ground inside the windmill and of course the mechanism of the mill. The stairs are narrow and mind your head when climbing up to the top. The museum is well taken care of. Travel wish for #2023travelwish is to Travel around the world with my loved one.

The iconic windmills stand tall and silent against the muted sky, their reflections shimmering softly in the still canals.
