It is our pleasure......

The Society of Zaan Mills was founded in 1925. Its first success was the restoration of De Zoeker oil mill. Three years later, the Mill Museum was opened.

Now, 84 years on, the Society possesses 12 picturesque industrial mills and a unique museum. The mills are an important part of our cultural heritage and continue to this day to determine the Zaan skyline.

Thanks to the support of some 3,600 members, of whom a large number are active volunteers, and from government and the business community, the Society is able to keep its current portfolio in excellent shape.

It is our pleasure to invite you to stroll past our mills, to pay a visit to our museum and to peek behind the scenes of our Society.
