| Kinderdijk Visitors Mill |
 |
| The miller turns this wheel to reposition the mill, causing the windmill's sails to face the wind. |
 |
| This scoop wheel carries water away from the windmill and toward a reservoir or holding pond. |
 |
| Inside the mill, wheels and sprockets take up most of the space. |
 |
| The wheels are made from hardwoods so they will last a long time. |
 |
| The windmill's shaft is blocked off so tourists can't damage it by mistake. |
 |
| The miller and his family lived in the remaining spaces inside the mill. One famous miller had 13 children! |
 |
| The miller and his wife slept in this tiny cabinet bed. |
