Molen van Schoonoord, Windmill in Schoonoord, Netherlands.
The Molen van Schoonoord is an octagonal mill featuring a three-story brick base and wooden upper structure built to catch the wind. It was equipped with sails and millstones that could grind grain when operated.
The structure was built in 1854 and rebuilt in 1903 after storm damage using materials from another mill in a nearby region. These repairs show how mill owners worked to restore their buildings and keep them operational.
The mill represents how grain processing shaped daily life and community work in this rural area. You can see traces of the practical importance this building once held for the people living nearby.
The mill sits on level ground and is easily visible from the road, making it simple to locate and view from outside. It is a solid structure with details visible from ground level.
Although the mill stopped working in 1952, it retains its full height and shape, making it a rare example of a complete mill structure. Part of it was dismantled in 1978, but the main body survived intact.
