Lovely, knowledgable tour guides. Wonderful experience for a day trip, along with visiting Herenstraat and the Vliet canal in Voorburg.

Windmill De Vlieger is a poldermill built in 1621 to drain the Veen- en Binckhorstpolder. Its scoopwheel of more than 5 meters can drain the water from the polder up to a height of 1 meter. The mill is still fully operational and runs regularly. It has been transformed into a museum. The living room on the groundfloor still looks as in 1900. From the landing on the first floot one can see how the large vertical axle transfers the motion of the wings to the scoopwheel. On the second floor different operating models of several mill types can be seen.

Possibly one of the nicest 'small museums' I every visited. Together with the garden and the audio tour you can still spend easily 2 hours there. Especially in 'corona time' with fewer visitors allowed it is even more comfortable. Interesting stories, enthusiastic guide in the house, and cool sense of history from the recently excavated ice cellar to the space exposition in the attic. It really is a gem. Possibly it is more exciting for Dutch people because of the greatness of both Constantijn and esp Christiaan Huygens and their lasting and even increasingly acknowledged legacies. But still, as a manifestation of the great Golden Age every one should be able to enjoy that it has been rescued and can still be visited today.
