The windmill village Zaanse Schans is an open air museum that houses a collection of working windmills, wooden houses, barns and shops dating back to the 18th and 19thCentury. All these buildings were brought here from 1961 onwards bringing back to life this most prosperous period of the Zaan region.In its golden age the Zaan Region developed into an industrial area on a scale never seen before, with 600 active windmills: wooden factories powered by wind. In these small factories many tasks were being executed with the aid of wind energy: wood sawn by machines, grinding spices, oil for food and paint, flour, cocoa powder and many other things.The prosperity in the 18th and 19th century can be seen in the Zaanse Schans windmill village in several ways.
