Step back in time to Old Holland

With its windmills, arts and crafts, and Industrial Revolution heritage, discovering Old Holland feels like taking a step back in time. The region showcases the traditional Dutch skills this country first became famous for: shipbuilding, fishing and cheese making. You can also experience the heritage of the Dutch Industrial Revolution – a time when smoking chimneys and spinning sails enabled the mass production of goods in the Netherlands.
