De Verwachting, Corn and mustard mill in Hollum, Netherlands
Description
De Verwachting is a working mill with four sails and a thatched roof mounted on a three-story brick base in Hollum. It grinds grain and produces mustard using traditional methods that have been part of the island's production for generations.
