I did relatively little when we visited the Windmill Village, but that was more than enough for me. When I think of the Netherlands I invariably picture windmills and tulips (and sometimes stroopwafel!), so it was important for me to see some windmills for real!

There's actually quite a bit to do here if you're looking for activities.

Vrijwilligers draaien de molen vier dagen per week omdat een molen moet blijven draaien. De onderkruier De Gekroonde Poelenburg is echter niet open voor bezoekers. De zaagvloer is niet geschikt om bezoekers te ontvangen. Verderop kun je bij Het Jonge Schaap wel een houtzaagmolen in bedrijf zien.

De oorspronkelijke molen was al in 1731 actief in de banne Oostzaan. Pieter Jochemsz Poelenburg was de bouwer en mede-eigenaar van de balkenzager. Op 11 december verbrandde de molen. De paltrok De Locomotief uit Koog aan de Zaan verhuisde hiernaartoe. Na de verhuizing werd deze omgedoopt tot De gekroonde Poelenburg. De houtzaagmolen was tot 1950 in bedrijf. In 63 werd het herbouwd en gerestaureerd aan de...
