Two of these windmills are open to the public, where you can go inside to look around. Then you'll discover this was a house with several rooms inside the windmill.
People used to live in there, the millers. In fact, some of these windmills there are still people living in them.
And when you go inside, you can speak to the miller, who will tell you all about how these mills operate.
