Jan Pol, Smock windmill in Dalen, Netherlands.

The Jan Pol windmill stands on a three-story brick base with a three-story smock structure, reaching a stage height of 9.90 meters.

Built in 1876 by millwright Schiller from Dalfsen to replace the previous mill from 1820, which was destroyed by lightning in 1875.

The structure received its name from Jan Pol, who maintained ownership of the windmill from 1942 until 1982 when he passed away.

Visitors can explore the windmill between April and November on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 13:30 to 16:30.

The mill contains three pairs of millstones measuring 1.50 meters and 1.40 meters, powered by four Common sails spanning 21.60 meters.
