Windmills at the Zaanse Schans

The Zaanse Schans is open all year, is free of charge and can be experienced and appreciated by people of all ages and all walks of life. Some of the attractions are closed during the winter season from mid October to April. A visit to a working industrial windmill is undoubtedly a unique experience. From November to February most of the windmills at the Zaanse Schans are only open at the weekend. Paint mill De Kat and oil mill De Zoeker are open daily from March to October.
