Culture

Due to its location on the North Sea, water has had a major influence on Dutch culture.

The construction of dykes and dams is one of the oldest and most important engineering feats in the Netherlands.

The many canals crossing to and fro across the countryside and through the towns has become a special characteristic of the country.

A wide variety of windmills have helped the farmers with their work, and contribute to the provision of power, as well as being a source of delight to visitors.
