context_page_description: Dutch New Zealanders are New Zealanders of Dutch ancestry. Dutch migration to New Zealand dates back to the earliest period of European colonisation. The 2013 census recorded 19,815 people born in the Netherlands and 28,503 people claiming Dutch ethnicity.
  The Netherlands' embassy in Wellington estimated there were approximately 45,000 Dutch citizens residing in New Zealand. This number includes persons with dual New Zealand and Dutch nationality. As many as 100,000 New Zealanders are estimated to be of Dutch descent.
context_section_description: The Oranjehof museum, in Foxton, tells the story of the Dutch immigrants in New Zealand. It also plays a national role in connecting the Dutch community, which is spread all through New Zealand. The Oranjehof Dutch Connection Centre is part of the Te Awahou Riverside Cultural Park, which also includes the flour-grinding windmill De Molen - a Stellingmolen, built to a 17th century design.
