Is it possible to visit a water pumping windmill and a industrial windmill at the same location
In the Netherlands you will find many places with several windmills in a small area.
Mostly those are all industrial mills or all water-moving mills.
I know there are some small water-moving windmills in the Zaanse Schans, but those are of kinds you can not visit inside.
Does anybody know of both kinds of windmill near each other, near being walking distance, say about a kilometer or 2/3 mile apart.
By preference in the Netherlands, elsewhere might be of interest as well.
And of course open to the public at least part of the time.

How far can a windmill pump water?
A typical windmill with 8 diameter wheel can lift water 185 feet and pump about 150 gallons an hour in 15 to 20 mph winds when using a 1 \xbe \u201cpump cylinder.How did old windmills pump water?
Metal windmills had curved blades allowing them to capture more wind than flat wooden blades. Steel mill designs often used open back-gears instead of a direct-stroke mechanism. These innovations allowed the metal mills to out-pump many wooden mills. Direct-stroke mills pumped water every wheel revolution.How does a Windpump work?
The blades, also known as sails, of the windmill wheel catch the wind which turns the rotor. The wheel assembly is attached to a hub assembly by long arms. The hub assembly drives a geared mechanism that converts rotary motion to an up-and-down motion.Windmill Used to Pump Water
