Kinderdijk & Loevestein castle

Two UNESCO icons join forces

Kinderdijk UNESCO World Heritage and Loevestein Castle are teaming up! These two iconic Dutch heritage sites are joining forces to inspire visitors to explore both locations. And what better day to celebrate than World Heritage Day – a global moment to reflect on the value of cultural heritage.

What do windmills and a medieval castle have in common? More than you might think! Both tell the story of the Netherlands – a story of water, resilience, ingenuity, and strength. From keeping the land dry to defending it from invaders, our history is full of clever engineering and strategic thinking.

By working together, Kinderdijk and Loevestein aim to bring this story to life for even more visitors and show how Dutch identity has been shaped by both water management and military defense.
