Schoonoord, Alverna

Schoonoord is a tower mill in Alverna, Gelderland, Netherlands, which was built in 1887 and is in working order.

Repairs were carried out by millwrights Adriaens of Weert, Limburg.

[2] Restorations were carried out in 1965 and 1987, but neither of these returned the mill to working order.

At the bottom of the upright shaft is the great spur wheel, which has 78 cogs.

The great spur wheel drives two pairs of 1.50 metres (4 ft 11 in) French Burr millstones via lantern pinion stone nuts which have 33 staves each.
