Image showing 2 of 3 windmills on a row in this location, build in 1672 AD. These mills pumped water from a lake, transforming it into a polder, and kept this polder dry following this.

Great architecture in details! Must be long reconstruction works till they achieved this perfection in details. I like specially those small yellow frame windows! :)

Hi Ainars,
They are all in their original state. No reconstruction. After being built they kept in function untill the age of steam power came.

Marco, Here in the USA, we are far behind places like The Netherlands which has long been a leader in wind energy. Looks like those windmills are built to last too.
