De Phenix, Windmill in Nes, Ameland, Netherlands.
De Phenix stands as a smock mill constructed on a brick base, with sails extending near ground level and a thatched exterior covering its structure.
Following the destruction of De Hoop mill by lightning in 1880, millwright Van der Meer from Harlingen constructed De Phenix in the same location.
The mill maintains its original function as a grain processing facility, demonstrating traditional Dutch milling techniques through its mechanical operation.
Visitors can observe the cast-iron windshaft, created by Penn & Bauduin in 1900, which connects to a brake wheel containing 56 metal cogs.
De Phenix remains the last surviving ground-level corn mill in Friesland, with sails spanning 17.90 meters across its operational structure.
