De Arend, Coevorden

De Arend (English The Eagle) is a smock mill in Coevorden, Netherlands.

[1] De Arend was built by millwrights Ritsema Brothers of Stroobos, Friesland for J B Soppe.

The Dutch magazine De Molenaar of 25 November 1969 stated that the mill was built in 1888.

[2] De Arend is what the Dutch describe as an "achtkante stellingmolen" - an eight-sided smock mill with a stage.

At the bottom of the upright shaft, the great spur wheel with 85 cogs drives two lantern pinion stone nuts, each with 28 staves.
