Buiten Verwachting, Stone windmill in Nieuw- en Sint Joosland, Netherlands.
The round stone tower mill Buiten Verwachting rises near Molenweg 35, featuring three stone wheels powered by wooden mechanisms and large sails.
Built in 1874 to replace a wooden mill destroyed by lightning, Buiten Verwachting underwent extensive restoration between 1981 and 1983 under Middelburg Municipality ownership.
The mill demonstrates traditional Dutch grain processing methods through its mechanical system, which includes specific star wheels made by the De Troije family.
Visitors can explore the mill primarily on Saturdays when miller Richard van Eenennaam operates the machinery and explains its mechanisms by appointment.
The mill received new sails in 2022 that replicate historical designs, replacing the previous fukken covers that had deteriorated over time.
