This mill is one of the most photographed mills in the Netherlands. The windmill in Keukenhof is a so-called tower mill and was built in Scharmer in 1892. The windmill was originally a ground-sailer and functioned as a polder windmill. In 1975, the windmill was moved to the grounds of Keukenhof. The flower park received the windmill as a gift from the Holland-America Line. The windmill is now used as an ornamental object. The mill can turn and has sails of 17.90 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-the-mill-with-tulip-fields-in-front\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The mill with tulip fields in front<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the windmill makes for beautiful pictures from the Keukenhof, it is also highly recommended to view the windmill from the flower fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2-opening-hours\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The windmill is open during the Keukenhof opening days. In 2027 this will be from <strong>Thursday 18 March to Sunday 9 May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-ticket-price\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ticket price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The windmill is located in Keukenhof flower park.
