Day 10 Cornmill ‘DE HOOP”
Hellevoetsluis. In midday light.
We pass the mill again on our way further, we are driving back to Belgium over the islands. An interesting ride!
The weather is with us!!
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.
