One of the city's oldest windmills is the Sloten Windmill in Amsterdam.
Relive the past as you discover what it was like to live and work in a mill during the 19th century.
The miller is excited to tell his tales. And did you know that Sloten Windmill held a particular place in the heart of renowned artist Rembrandt van Rijn?
