Out of the 1,154 World Heritage Sites worldwide, 12 are wholly or partly located in the Netherlands and one is on Curaçao.
The most famous UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands can arguably be found in our capital, Amsterdam.
It’s not so much one specific building or monument, but rather a tangled network of picturesque canals, beautiful architecture, and unique history.
You guessed it: Amsterdam’s extraordinary and historical Canal Ring District.
The city of Utrecht is home to another famous UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Rietveld-Schröderhuis.
World Heritage sites are not just found in large cities, rural locations such as the windmills at Kinderdijk provide visitors with particularly good views of the distinctly Dutch landscape.
The iconic windmills at Kinderdijk are a perfect example of this.
The Wadden Sea is unique because it is "the world's largest contiguous system of sand and mud flats that run dry during low tide”.
The Koloniën van Weldadigheid are now part of World Heritage because they are the first manifestation, and possibly the basis, of the Dutch welfare state.
The Netherlands has the Schokland peninsula.
