In 1963 a historic Zaan neighborhood was established in Zaandam. Nationally listed wooden buildings and the well-known industrial mills were moved there. Much later, this was also supplemented with craft shops, catering and museums. The Zaanse Schans is the most visited tourist attraction in the Netherlands.Unfortunately, the municipality of Zaanstad intends to turn this into a profit model and the Zaanse Schans will be open to visitors for a fee from 2026.

Zaandijk 🇳🇱
