Zaanse Schans

The Zaanse Schans is a neighborhood in Zaandam, which is located in the municipality of Zaanstad . It is located on the Zaan, opposite Zaandijk next to the Juliana Bridge . It is a well-known open-air attraction with hundreds of thousands of visitors (in 2013 1.5 million). Formally, it is not a museum . It was created with the intention of the historical heritage preserve. The houses are rented to residents, so that not only tourists coming to the area.

The name is derived from the redoubt which Diederik Sonoy, governor in the service of William of Orange in 1574 had built to hold back as the Spanish troops.

Between 1961 and 1974, many old buildings from the Zaan with loaders brought to the Zaanse Schans and restored to its former glory. Also some mills were moved here. Only lower the paint mill Cat (originally a mill) and the oil mill the Pied Hen and the oil mill the Ox are still on their original property. Later buildings are regularly moved to the Zaanse Schans.
