De Hoop

De Hoop stands as a round stone mill with a height of 21 meters, featuring three sets of millstones for grain processing.

The current structure, built in 1845 by the Voogd family, replaced an earlier mill from 1600 that operated with two pairs of millstones.

The mill maintains traditional Dutch milling practices, continuing its original purpose of producing flour for local communities and bakeries.

Visitors can observe the mill's operations on Saturdays when it runs on wind power, while during weekdays it operates using electrical power.

The mill remains one of the few privately owned commercial windmills in the Netherlands, managed by the same family since its construction.
