Step into the shoes of a traditional Dutch miller at the Sloten Windmill, a fully functioning drainage mill with an adjoining museum located just outside Amsterdam. Dating back to 1847, this rotating landmark is one of the few windmills open to the public. A guided visit inside offers a rare chance to discover how the mill controls water levels in Amsterdam West, watch the sails in action, and learn fascinating insights about the Netherlands’ historic relationship with water—knowledge that feels increasingly vital as sea levels rise.
