Schiedam, Port municipality at Schie and Nieuwe Maas rivers, Netherlands

The city features five traditional windmills that stand tall above the warehouses, marking the landscape of this South Holland settlement.

Founded in 1230 when a dam was constructed on the river Schie, Schiedam received official town privileges from Lady Adelaide of Holland in 1275.

The Stedelijk Museum Schiedam displays contemporary art collections and hosts exhibitions highlighting Dutch artists from the Cobra movement.

Travelers can reach Schiedam through Rotterdam The Hague Airport, with regular bus and train connections available from Rotterdam Central Station.

The municipality earned the nickname Black Nazareth during the 18th century due to its extensive jenever gin production and numerous distilleries.
