working condition and are used to crush grain, saw wood,
twine cables and pump water. Near Rotterdam, 19 giant
mills, each five stories high can be seen at work.
Holland's Art
Holland is filled with many art museums displaying
paintings of many of the great masters including Van
Gogh and Rembrandt.
The two most popular museums are Amsterdam's
Rijksmuseum and the Hague's Mauritshuis.
Rijksmuseum is ranked among the top dozen in Europe.
It features the most popular Dutch masters of the 16th and
17th centuries as well 'as many other world renowned
artists.
Mauritshuis is a 17th -century patrician home that
displays only first rate collections. The emphasis is more
toward 19th and 20th century Dutch art. An extensive Van
Gogh collection can be found here,

another tine museum to visit, displaying a wide variety of
art.
Progressive Architecture
Holland's soft, marshy ground meant that huge
cathedrals and large structures couldn't be built during
the Gothic period.
Today Holland has a few tall buildings but a 10 story
building is considered to be a sky -scraper.
Stained glass added to Dutch architecture in the 16th
century when it was used in churches.
17th Century Charm
Holland is blessed with the 17th century charm of over
300 castles, many surrounded by intricate harbors with
medieval characteristics. Many of the castles make an
ideal atmosphere for picnics and sight-seeing.
