Aruba's most distinctive landmark is the Old Dutch Windmill, J.E. Irausquin Blvd. 330, around the corner from the Butterfly Farm, near Palm Beach. It's an anomaly in the Caribbean, but it's authentic. Built in Friesland, Holland, in 1804, it originally drained water from low-lying land. Damaged by a storm in 1878, it was later rebuilt at another site in the Netherlands to mill grain. In 1929, another storm hit the windmill, which stood idle until 1960, when a Dutch merchant shipped it to Aruba. It reopened in 1974 and has at various times over the years housed a series of restaurants and late-night bars, which seem to open then shut down depending on the direction of the wind, perhaps.
