These 18th-century windmills line the canals of Kinderdijk, working when necessary to drain the land. This picturesque UNESCO World Heritage site is beautifully preserved and demonstrates the engineering prowess of the Dutch people, fending off inundation to allow farmers to work the fertile soil. #EuropeFromAbove is now streaming on Disney and Hulu. | National Geographic History

Kinderdijk, in the Netherlands, is home to the world's largest windmill complex. These mighty, dry land-creating machines are so important that they have their own #unesco status. They are so historic, because they made uninhabitable swampland a (very!) pretty place to live. And... Their 70 mph wings are so powerful, they might sweep you off your feet if you get too close. (I swear I wasn't scared. Truly! 😬) Watch, learn & enjoy in this preview clip from our all-new season, debuting this fall!
