What is the name of the famous holland windmill?
If you mean the Kinderdijk, there are the most windmills in a row. But we have more windmills, they're mostly located in the middle, top and west of the Netherlands, 'cause they were used to suck away the water, so that the land underneath it could be used. The largest windmills (of the world) are located in Schiedam. They are called Schiedamse molens They are so large because they are made out of different layers. If you are speaking of the windmill in Holland, Michigan: the 230 year old DeZwaan windmill is located on windmill island in the city of Holland Michigan.
Why are they so tall?

Do windmills blow?
No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".
