Tour of Europe 04 2016
Day 8
Hellevoetsluis. In evening light.
At last, a windmill! We drove through a big part of Holland , eh without spotting one windmill? What are the chances eh? LOL
We are nearly there!
In 1697, there was a wooden mill on the site where now is the dry dock .
Dirk Jacobsz Goutswaart is mentioned as the first miller .
This mill, at the end of the 18th century, had to make way for the dry dock.
This, the stone mill “De Hoop” built in 1801 .
After this , until the restoration of 1992-1993 are an architect , a goldsmith and various artists used the mill.
Now the miller and partner occupy the ground floor and first floor.
It is still open to the public on week-ends.
