The
Zaanse Schans is an open air conservation area and museum, on the bank of the river Zaan, north of
Zaandam in the
Netherlands. It displays the traditional architecture of the area (green wooden houses) and has several functioning windmills and craftmen's workshops, which are open to visitors. Located next to it is the regional museum, the Zaans Museum.
To get there, take a train to railway station Koog-Zaandijk (17 minutes/4 stops from
Amsterdam Central Station). From there it is a 10-15 minutes walk through the village of
Zaandijk (just follow the signs).
