            Kinderdijk is a village in the the Netherlands' South Holland province, known for its iconic 18th-century windmills. Its water-management network features 19 mills and 3 pumping stations, plus dikes and reservoirs that control flooding in the polder (low-lying land). Waterways, footpaths and bike trails crisscross the area, leading to the main visitors center and museums in preserved working windmills.

Depuis des siècles, Kinderdijk gère les eaux de Alblasserwaard. La région est toujours constituée du réseau de canaux, de bassins et de moulins, grâce auxquels l'eau des polders était à l'origine évacuée vers la Lek. La campagne environnante libre de toutes constructions, condition nécessaire à une mise à profit optimale du vent, est toujours en grande partie inchangée.

C'est pour cette raison qu'en 1997, le réseau de moulins de Kinderdijk a été placé sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, une reconnaissance de l'importance de la gestion et de la conservation de cette région.

Le site de Kinderdijk est unique au monde, on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs autant de moulins aussi bien conservés et en aussi grand nombre. En tout, dix-neuf moulins à vent s'y dressent à proximité les uns des autres
