When were windmills built in amsterdam?

Windmills in Amsterdam were primarily built during the 17th century, a period marked by the Dutch Golden Age. The most renowned of these, such as the De Gooyer mill, were constructed to assist with drainage and grain milling. While some windmills date back to the late 16th century, they became more prominent in the landscape as the city expanded and developed its canal system. Today, these historic windmills are a key part of Amsterdam's cultural heritage.
