The Zaanse Schans is a delightful village on the banks of the river Zaan with characteristic green wooden houses, charming stylized gardens, small hump-backed bridges, tradesmen's workshops, historic windmills and engaging little shops to form a remarkable replica of a typical Zaanse village of the eighteenth and nineteenth century.

The ‘Zaanse Schans App’ offers you an locative media tour about the history of the Zaanse Schans and its region.
