The cultural wealth of Delft’s past can be seen and felt in every part of the city. Anyone who wants to experience how the Dutch cities thrived and flourished, due in part to the efforts of windmills such as those in Kinderdijk, can get a personal taste of those glory days after just an hour’s travel to Delft!
