De Hoop ("Hope") is a flour windmill in Ouddorp built in 1845 and fully renovated in 1984.
It is one of the few windmills in the Netherlands that is still privately owned, and is still in full commercial operation.
Ouddorp is a village on the northwestern tip of the island of Goeree-Overflakkee in Zeeland, with a 14th-century church in the marketplace.
Until 1952 it had three pairs of millstones for grinding grain for the local farmers.
[2] Between 1982 and 1984 there was a major renovation in which the sails were overhauled and given automatic speed controls.
