Overview
Step into the shoes of an old Dutch miller (or maybe a young one – who knows?) at the Sloten Windmill, a functioning draining mill with an adjoining museum on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
This rotating beauty dates back to 1847, and it's one of the few windmills that are open to the public. Getting a tour inside is a real rare treat. See how the mill controls the water levels in Amsterdam West, how the sails are turning, and more. With sea levels rising, this could all be vital information!
Know before you go
Entrance of the mill is only possible with a guided tour. Tours are in English or Dutch.
