It’s that time of the year again
13 and 14 May is National Mill Day in the Netherlands. There are lots of activities and celebrations at many of the windmills and watermills across the land.
Check out many of the fascinating tours and demonstrations. There are plenty of other activities for the whole family. Some mills have shops and cafes, with special treats for the day. We spotted pancakes on at least one menu.

Let’s hope there is enough wind to see them all in full throttle.
Organised by our very good friends De Hollandsche Molen (the Mill Society). The DHM is a non-profit association devoted to the preservation and restoration of mills in the Netherlands, and has been operating since 1923.
