De Vrijheid

Built in 1803. With a height of 33.3 m, the tallest windmill in the world. In use as a restaurant.

This is a square-formed building with a zakkendrager (sack carrier) as wind vane. It was built in 1725 and used to be the guild house of the Zakkendragersgilde (Sack Carrier’s Guild). The building has a clock-faced tower and the clock bell tolled to signal the arrival of a ship, after which the sack carriers would make their way to the Guild House. The building is not accessible to the general public.

Local movie theatre with a cozy atmosphere. Housed in a former distillery (one of the youngest in Schiedam). The website is in Dutch, current movies are directly visible on the homepage and can be reserved from there (English option available).

The Korenbeurs was built by Italian architect Giudici and modified by Schiedam architect Rutger van Bol‘Es (1787–1792). Malt spirit, alcohol and grain was traded here. Since 2015 it houses the library of Schiedam. The courtyard has been incorporated in the building and is now a nice and green space with trees up to 6 meters high. Enjoy a coffee, lunch, high tea or high gin at Césant which has a large patio in front.

The oldest windmill (1770) still existing in Schiedam.

It was built in the 16th century. It contains late Gothic and Renaissance elements. The staired plateau was added in 1717/18. The town hall is now only used for performing weddings, meetings and representative purposes.
