Beautiful 33m elevated windmills in Schiedam. Apparently they are the tallest of their type in the world. #schiedam #netherlands # Rotterdam #windmills
In Rotterdam, at the Schiedam area, are several windmills that you can walk in or around. One is still functioning and is a museum so you can see how these windmills were used 300 years ago. These giants are surrounded by a residential area and stand along the water way. These 5 mills are the largest in the world! #localsecrets
