Park de Put
In Park de Put staat Molen de Put. De molen is een replica van een 17e-eeuwse houten molen, waarvan rond 1600 er dertien op de Leidse stadswallen stonden. De molens voorzagen de stad van meel. Kijkend vanaf Molen de Put naar de andere zijde van de Oude Rijn ligt de Weddesteeg. In deze straat stond het geboortehuis van Rembrandt. Het huis is in 1927 gesloopt. Een plaquette aan de gevel herinnert nog aan de plek waar Rembrandt heeft gewoond. In Park de Put staat het Indie-Monument 'Een afscheid zonder thuiskomst (1945-1952). De Oost-Indische sfeer komt terug in de beplanting van het park.

The mill in Park de Put is a reconstruction of a 17th century wooden mill, of which thirteen existed on the city's ramparts around 1600. The mills provided the city with flour. Viewed from the
