Museum · 45 min · The introductory film at De Fabriek and the Wisboom steam pumps, which took over from the windmills. Included.

Before the windmills, go to De Fabriek, a former pumping station beside the entrance: a short film, without words, explains the landscape and why Kinderdijk exists, and an exhibition with maps and tools tells how water has been controlled for centuries. Next door, the Wisboom pumping station shows the next step: the steam pumps that arrived when the windmills were no longer enough, still working and explained by an operator.
Practical details
Included in admission. It is the best stop for a rainy day and what gives meaning to the rest of the visit.
