't Nupke, Stone windmill in Geldrop, Netherlands
The white plastered round windmill stands 2.5 meters high on an artificial hill at the west end of Molenakker street in Geldrop.
Built in 1843 by miller Anthonij Sevens, the windmill operated continuously until 1967 when it fell into disrepair after the death of miller Johannes Obbing.
The name 't Nupke derives from local dialect meaning button or bump, referring to the natural elevation where the mill was constructed.
The mill contains two pairs of millstones measuring 150 centimeters in diameter, allowing grain processing through both traditional wind power and electric mechanisms.
The windmill features a Flemish block brake system with brake drum and utilizes an English turning mechanism for the cap rotation.
