In this region you will see typical houses, windmills, a tin factory and a dairy farm and cheese factory with artisanal products, all in such a way as to give you a complete idea of \u200b\u200bwhat life was like at that time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 600 windmills were built in the area around the Zaanse Schans during the 17th century. This made it the first industrial region. The windmills were used to grind spices and produce paint, wooden boards, dyes and oils. Many windmills are still standing and can be visited. You can see from the outside, as well as from the inside, how the wind-powered machinery works.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0001-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0001-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0001-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0001-4-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Having internet is always important.
