De Hoop (English The Hope) is a smock mill in Norg, Drenthe, the Netherlands.
In 1862 the mill was in the ownership of Egge Dijkhuizen, passing to Thijs Mulder and then the Hoff brothers.
[3] In 1937, the mill was fitted with four new Bilau sails by millwrights Fabrikaat Wijnveen of Voorthuizen, Gelderland.
The four Bilau sails have a span of 21.35 metres (70 ft 1 in) are carried in a cast-iron windshaft, which was cast by Nederlandse Stoomboot Maatschappij, Fyenoord in 1844.
At the bottom of the upright shaft the great spur wheel, which has 80 cogs, drives the 1.40 metres (4 ft 7 in) diameter French Burr millstones via a lantern pinion stone nut which has 24 staves.
[1] Reference for above:-[3] De Hoop is open on Saturdays from 12:00 to 16:00, alternating with Noorderveld, the other windmill in Norg.
