De Phenix, Nes

De Phenix (English: The Phoenix) is a smock mill in Nes, Ameland, Friesland, Netherlands which was built in 1880 and is in working order.

It was replaced by a smock mill, De Hoop (English: The Hope) in 1834.

[1] On 20 June 1880, De Hoop was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire.

[1] The sails are carried on a cast-iron windshaft which was made by Penn & Bauduin in 1900.

The great spur wheel drives one pair of millstones via a lantern pinion stone nut which has 19 staves.
