Schiedam Windmills house the world's tallest structures of their kind, with De Noord reaching 43 meters, powering the city's jenever industry at 90% efficiency. These mills grind 15 tons of grain weekly, producing ingredients for 200 distilleries. While #3 De Gooyer focuses on brewing, Schiedam's mills are 30% larger and process 2x the grain volume, making them historical powerhouses. The adjacent Jenever Museum documents their 300-year role in gin production, offering tastings of 20 local variants.
