De Hoop, Stellingmill in Sleen, Netherlands

The De Hoop windmill features a raised wooden gallery around its octagonal structure, enabling millers to access and adjust the sails at height.

Built in 1854, this gristmill served the agricultural community of Sleen by processing local grains into flour through traditional wind-powered mechanisms.

The mill represents Dutch agricultural heritage as a Rijksmonument, maintaining its original grinding mechanisms and traditional milling practices for future generations.

Visitors can observe the complete milling process during scheduled open days, watching grain transformation into flour using wind power and wooden machinery.

The mill incorporates specific engineering elements, including a cast-iron windshaft and millstones measuring 1.40 meters in diameter for grain processing.
