The windmills at Kinderdijk in the village of Kinderdijk, Netherlands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A wind farm or wind park, or wind power plant, [1] is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area. Wind farms can be either onshore or offshore.
Canvas sails can be fitted over the latticework to catch more wind and improve the power the windmill can generate. The Lily has 24.6-metre (81 ft) diameter sails with stocks constructed of welded steel rectangular sections. [ 13 ]
