		Once throughout The Netherlands there were several thousands of windmills (some records say even over 7.000), but as they became modernized and replaced more and more by (steam)machines, now-a-days “only” 1.700 are left.
		The windmills of Kinderdijk are there for one single reason: to keep the water out of the polder in which they stand.
		This purpose is widely spread throughout the Netherlands and also the reason why in the swamp that we call home so many mills were and are there.
