View of windmills at Kinderdijk
Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, partly in the municipality Nieuw-Lekkerland, partly in the municipality of Alblasserdam, in the province South Holland, about 15km east of Rotterdam.
Kinderdijk is situated in a polder at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands.
The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They were placed on the list of UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
金德代克（Kinderdijk）是荷兰西部南荷兰省的一个村庄，部分属于新莱克兰，部分属于阿尔布拉瑟丹，距鹿特丹东面15公里。
金德代克坐落在莱克河与诺德河交汇处，为了排出水，1740年建立一个由19座风车组成的系统。这组旧风车是荷兰最大的系统。
如今，金德代克风车群成为荷兰最知名的景点之一，于1997年列入联合国科教文组织世界文化遗产名录。
