De Hoop, Norg

De Hoop functions as a gristmill with eight sides, constructed of brick and wood, featuring a three-story base and a stage positioned 6.20 meters above ground.

The mill, built in 1857 for Hermannus Beins, initially processed barley before converting to corn production through multiple ownership changes over the nineteenth century.

This Rijksmonument stands as a representation of Dutch agricultural engineering, demonstrating the traditional milling methods that supported local grain processing for generations.

Visitors can explore the working mechanisms of De Hoop during Saturday openings from 12:00 to 16:00, alternating weekends with the Noorderveld mill.

De Hoop contains machinery from 1844, including a cast-iron windshaft manufactured by Nederlandse Stoomboot Maatschappij, which powers the millstones through an intricate gear system.
