Foreword:
In preparation to making these pages, I spent a Saturday morning at the windmill, where Mr. van der Kaaden gave me a tour. In my opinion, the mill looks fabulous. I not only enjoyed my visit; I also found it really quite interesting. My 4-year old son, who accompanied me, could only agree. In short, the windmill is really worth a visit !!

Introduction:

The cap of the STONE (FLOUR) WINDMILL "THE HOPE" bears the text: "Anno 1792" (in the year 1792) and includes the municipal coat of arms. From 1792 to this day the windmill, as you can imagine, has undergone Various both big and small, some of which are further explained below. There is also a brief account of how the mill actually operates.
