Windmills still are the stereotypical essence of Holland. De Herder (the Shepard) was rebuild in 1989, but there has been a windmill around here since at least 1560. It is in working order (grain) and is now operated by volunteers.

Do note the cyclist on the bike path. Also in the top 10 of 'what is Holland'.
