A unique view of water management

View the water management system at Kinderdijk from a unique angle. You can choose between watching the video and a visit to Wisboom Pumping Station. The video is an experience that takes you back in time to the very beginnings of Kinderdijk in 1277 and from there into the future. Here, the struggle against the water is brought to life. In Wisboom Pumping Station, there is a scale model, an interactive polder tabletop, and telephone cabinets that demonstrate how this impressive water management system works.

The name 'Korte Halve'

Korte Halve – Short Half in English – is a reference to a smaller canvas that the miller attaches to the sails if there is a lot of wind. It is a powerful, regulated use of energy, exactly what this package offers: substance and efficiency.

Visit a windmill

A visit to Kinderdijk is only truly complete when you have actually been inside the windmills. In the windmills, you can find out what life was like in the windmill and its yard. Climb the narrow stairs and watch the gigantic gear wheels. Perhaps you’ll come across the miller – a special experience that you should not miss.

Ask the guide your questions

Are you looking for more depth and information? Why not have one of our guides show you around? Every one of them has a passion for the windmills and the surrounding area. They have all followed a special training course and can explain Kinderdijk’s uniqueness in great detail. So, you can expect personal stories and local details as well as historical facts.

Our colleagues from Sales will then get in touch with you.
