Mills Night

Many windmills in Kaag and Braassem deserve to be in the spotlight. During the Molennacht on Saturday 13 September 2025 we will actually take care of this. Extra activities are organized at a number of windmills.

Molennacht: fourteen illuminated windmills on Saturday evening, September 13, 2025, in the Kaag and Braassem landscape. With this initiative, Kaag en Braassem Promotie aims to literally put the windmills in the spotlight to emphasize their importance in the landscape.
