De Hoop, Smock windmill in Elden, Netherlands.

De Hoop stands as a round stone mill with white-painted walls, featuring two sets of grinding stones measuring 140 centimeters in diameter.

Built in 1846, the mill operated continuously until 1931, when traditional wind-powered milling ceased, leading to a period of deterioration.

The mill maintains Dutch milling traditions by producing flour through traditional methods and serves as an official wedding location for Arnhem municipality.

Visitors can purchase fresh flour and local products from the small shop inside the mill every Saturday between 10:00 and 15:00.

The mill contains a specialized belt-operated lifting mechanism called kammenluiwerk and uses animal fat to lubricate its cast iron top shaft from 1860.
