Nederwaard is one of the two museum windmills of Kinderdijk, the closest to the entrance. Inside you see how the miller's family lived, in tiny rooms around the machinery: the kitchen, the cupboard beds, the almost vertical wooden stairs and the gears that turn when the windmill works. The millers are there and answer questions.

Practical details

It is included in general admission (€21; €9 for ages 4 to 12). The stairs are steep and the entrance narrow, so it is not wheelchair accessible and with small children you have to be careful. Dogs on a lead may go in.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay separately?

No, it is included in admission to the site.

Can you go up with a pushchair?

No: leave the pushchair outside, the stairs are very steep.
