The 18th century De Gooyer windmill, or Funenmolen as it’s sometimes called, stands majestically outside Amsterdam’s center on the Funenkade, a lovely old harbor district. One of only a handful of windmills remaining in and around Amsterdam, the De Gooyer’s massive blades spanning 26.6 meters, still sail with the wind delighting tourists.
Originally used to grind corn, the De Gooyer now serves as a tourist attraction and as the backdrop for a popular brewpub.
