The atmospheric fishing village
Molendam
For those who love nostalgia and Dutch tradition, Molendam is a true dream world.
This village reflects everything we know and cherish about the quintessential Dutch landscape. Picture characteristic gabled houses, windmills turning in the breeze, little bridges over frozen canals, and a cosy atmosphere that evokes the charm of winters gone by.
An ode to the past
In Molendam, every detail is an ode to the past. Children glide across the ice, the scent of warm stroopwafels drifts over from a traditional snack stall, and skaters make graceful rounds on a frozen pond. A fisherman’s cottage by the quay, a skate shop filled with vintage models, an old windmill, and a church bell chiming the hour, this world is full of character.
Styling tips
When styling this village, use warm, natural tones and small accents such as clogs, tulips, and bicycles. Let a marching band parade through the village or set up a Christmas market with wooden stalls and strings of lights. Molendam invites interaction and is perfect for families who want to build their own piece of winter history together.
