De Groot, Octagonal stellingmolen in Alkmaar, Netherlands.

The De Groot windmill stands tall with its wooden platform structure, featuring rotating sails and stone grinding mechanisms for grain processing.

Built at the Clarissenbolwerk near the former Kennemerpoort, the mill received its alternative name after Cornelis Piet purchased it in 1884.

The stellingmolen represents traditional Dutch milling technology, earning recognition as a Rijksmonument for its architectural and industrial value.

Located at Clarissenbuurt 4 in postal code 1811GC, the mill maintains its original grain grinding functions using wind power.

The mill's elevated platform design enables operators to position the sails precisely, maximizing wind capture for efficient grain processing.
