De Hoop, Stellingmill in Dokkum, Netherlands.

The three-story wooden structure stands 24 feet above ground level, featuring both Common sails with Fok system and Ten Have sails with Van Bussel fittings.

Built in 1849 by millwright Gerrit P de Boer, this mill replaced the previous Great Mill that stood at the same location until 1840.

The mill received official recognition as a Rijksmonument number 13186, marking its status among protected Dutch cultural heritage structures.

The millstones measure 4 feet 7 inches in diameter and operate through a complex system of gears, including a great spur wheel with 101 cogs.

The mill combines two different sail systems, with streamlined edges on one pair and specialized Ten Have modifications on the other pair.
