Windmills

Windmills stamps celebrate structures that have harnessed wind power for centuries, grinding grain, pumping water, and draining low-lying land, with the Netherlands especially known for its windmill landscapes. These machines became cultural icons, appearing in art, literature such as Don Quixote's famous tilt, and national imagery, while modern wind turbines carry the idea into renewable energy. As a stamp-collecting theme, windmills combine architecture, engineering, and rural scenery, connecting naturally with buildings, technology, and energy-related subjects.
