Important information

Entrance of the mill is only possible with a guided tour. Tours are in English or Dutch.
  • See the sails turn, learn how the mill works, and get the history dating back to the 1800s
  • Find out why the mill is vital in this area that sits more than two meters below sea level
  • Enjoy panoramic views of the Ringvaart canal which stretches around Haarlemmermeer

Step into the shoes of an old Dutch miller (or maybe a young one – who knows?) at the Sloten Windmill, a functioning draining mill with an adjoining museum on the outskirts of Amsterdam.

This rotating beauty dates back to 1847, and it's one of the few windmills that are open to the public. Getting a tour inside is a real rare treat. See how the mill controls the water levels in Amsterdam West, how the sails are turning, and more. With sea levels rising, this could all be vital information!

The tour guide was excellent -- detailed information that she truly seemed to understand herself, which impressed me as the engineering and history were pretty complex.

The windmill is great, but we were disappointed with the guide's sharing. It was not very focused and detailed. Most questions were not answered. The rest of the team was top! Especially the person who takes care of the windmill itself.
