or:The 14th Century, there is no definitive date given for their earliest use, sorry!

or:\"The Dutch have become very innovative when it comes to keeping out the water. They have built dykes, fortifications and last but not least wind and watermills to create new land. The oldest mill is a watermill that dates back to the eighth century. These techniques were used to pump dry hundreds of lakes and swamps and to prevent land from flooding. Today, windmills are characteristic of the Dutch landscape and a symbol of the Dutch struggle with water.\" SOURCE: www.holland.com/global/tourism/article/dutch-windmills.htmMORE: www.google.com/search?q=dutch+windmills
