Museummolen Nederwaard: living amid the mill machinery

Museummolen Nederwaard in Kinderdijk combines machinery with living quarters. Photos and everyday objects draw attention to the people who lived and worked with the mill.

Plan your visit ↗

A working environment

The wooden machinery takes up an important place in the building. See how the parts relate to the living space. Ask what movement or function you are looking at, rather than just taking in the whole.

A home in a mill

The box bed and other domestic features give the mill a homely scale. The family history offers a personal starting point. Take time to see how daily functions were organised within the limited space.

Part of Kinderdijk

You visit the mill with a Kinderdijk ticket. The route, any boat trip and other locations need planning of their own. Historic mills may have steep stairs; check which parts can be reached if mobility is a concern.

Before you go

Check ticket, season and accessibility; winter opening must be confirmed separately.
