    Cool little windmill to go look round. It's not big and doesn't take long, but also doesn't cost much at all to visit. Interesting how the iconic Dutch windmills work inside. The tour guides were really nice too!

    Windmills are an engineering miracle. It's fascinating how they are built and how they operate. Our tour guide was wonderful and gave us so many little nuggets of information. Really worth the visit and it has a lovely view of Haarlem from the viewing deck. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions. You get more tidbits of very interesting information. Loved it!

    (Translated by Google) An incredibly beautiful place to sit and relax by the water. A pool for the children from the neighborhood when the weather is nice. A real treat for friends of ships and boats, everything here has to wait at a beautiful old swing bridge over 2.4m high before continuing. Generates a lot of time to look. Very nice to go into the evening. (Original) Ein unglaublich schönen Ort um am Wasser zu sitzen und zu entspannen. Für die Kinder aus der Nachbarschaft bei schönem Wetter ein Schwimmbad. Für Freunde von Schiffen und Booten ein Hochgenuss, hier muss alles über 2,4m Höhe an einer schönen alten Drehbrücke warten bis es weiter geht. Generiert viel Zeit zum schauen. Sehr schön um in den Abend über zu gehen.

    It’s a cute windmill! Came for the Dutch landscape aesthetic, and this is exactly what I got! Though I couldn’t enter the windmill, I was happy to get a nice view of the area.

    My friends and I had a wonderful time exploring the Molen de Adriaan while we were in Haarlem. We opted for the longer tour and are so thankful that we did, because we got to learn about the inner workings of the windmill, and even watched the miller stop the windmill in real time. Our guide was friendly and super knowledgeable about the history of the structure and the importance of windmills in literally shaping the Netherlands. If you make it to Haarlem, don't pass this gem by - it's worth the visit!

    It may be a simple and short tour but I love it. The guide, Ben, is really nice and friendly. We went up to the windmill for 5euros, it was an eye opening. Ben explained the histories, purposes of windmills and how they are operated. There are nice cafes nearby, next to the waters, a cool place to chill for sure!

    We were playing geocaching here and we didn't know the answer so we asked elderly couple inside and they also didn't know... So they were very exciting and cute cuz they wanted to find the answer... Very beautiful place and awesome experience tho :)

  • 3/5 Allen L. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the main symbols of Haarlem however I thought it left much to be desired. Perhaps there is some strong history behind this windmill but if you are some random tourist like myself you will not be wowed by this windmill. It is kind of nice that it sits on a canal I guess.

  • 5/5 Matthew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the best thing I’ve done in the Netherlands. The windmill works and we got a demonstration of stopping the mill to adjust the wings

  • 5/5 Nilesh P. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Алексей �. 1 year ago on Google
    a beautiful mill and a tour guide who loves his job. He told about all types of mills and about Peter 1, having learned that I was from Russia. Answered any questions and really knew a lot You can go to the site and look at the city from above. They have information in many languages ​​including Russian. The ticket cost about 5 euros. I recommend.

  • 5/5 Suneela I. 1 year ago on Google
    Before visiting this museum, my knowledge about windmills was limited and now I am so glad that I am enlightened. Thanks to the guide who shared interesting facts and answered my questions too. Nice view of the area from the top. The entrance fee of 7.5 euros was totally worth it. My 11 year old kid enjoyed it too. Highly recommend.

    Very pretty area in the lovely center of Haarlem. Like with other bridges in the city, this bridge will rotate on itself to let high mast ships through.

  • 5/5 Erin L. 5 months ago on Google
    So much information! I went in thinking I knew a few things about mills, and left after the tour knowing ten times more? Excellent displays, engaging tour guide (English tour), and such a vivid picture into the workings of the mill. So glad we did this. But tickets online in advance. (We bought night before)

  • 5/5 Too H. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful windmill with beautiful guide and history. The souvenirs are very cheap as well. They have a map of windmills in Netherlands, quite fascinating. We were shown the whole history of windmill development, technology it bears and how to operate it. Totally recommend the tour

    De Adriaan is a windmill in the Netherlands that burnt down in 1932 and was rebuilt in 2002. The original windmill dates from 1779 and the mill has been a distinctive part of the skyline of Haarlem for centuries

    One of the interesting things to see in Haarlem is Molen de Adriaan, a traditional Dutch windmill built along the river in the city centre in 1778. This is a beautiful windmill to view when sightseeing around the city. You can see and take nice pictures of Molen de Adriaan from across the river, while taking boat rides as well as from up close, just in front of the monument windmill. It has been a part of the Haarlem skyline for several centuries. Sadly, the original windmill burned down in 1932. What you see now is a reconstruction completed 70 years after the disastrous fire. The Molen de Adriaan windmill was opened to the public in 2002. If you are interested, there is a small museum in the windmill (€5 per adult) that you can visit. Opening days and hours change during the year so check their website for specifics.
