Did You Know?
In the 1950s, a network of Dutch windmills saved the region of Holland from devastating floods by working together in a coordinated effort. This incredible feat highlights how these historic machines remain a testament to the Dutch mastery of water management and their ability to adapt traditional practices for modern challenges.
A Rich History in Every Stroke
Dutch windmills, dating back to the 16th century, were pivotal in reclaiming land from the sea. By pumping water from low-lying polders into canals and rivers, these windmills transformed the Netherlands into a land of arable fields and thriving communities. Beyond drainage, they powered sawmills, ground grains into flour, and showcased the Dutch spirit of innovation and adaptability.
As you color this page, you’ll bring to life the intricate designs of a classic Dutch windmill. Imagine its wooden sails spinning gracefully in the wind, its towering form standing as a guardian of the land.
