The Zaanse Schans is a historic neighborhood founded in 1963 in the municipality of Zaanstad with national monumental wooden buildings and industrial windmills from the Zaan region that were relocated there. Over time, it has been supplemented with various cultural-historical museums, craft shops and restaurants. It is located in the Kalverpolder, a protected peat meadow landscape on the Zaan, opposite the village of Zaandijk. This architectural reserve for Zaanse timber construction is a protected village view due to its architectural historical and landscape value. It developed into an international tourist destination with several million visitors annually: in 2016 there were 1.8 million, in 2017 2.2 million.

The neighborhood was named in 1961 after the redoubt that Diederik Sonoy, governor in the service of William of Orange, had built in 1574 to hold back the Spanish troops.
