De Hoop is a smock mill in Wachtum, Drenthe, which has been restored to working order. The mill was built in 1894 and is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 11637.
De Hoop was originally built at Veendam, Groningen, where it was used as a drainage mill known as Hoop op Beter. It was moved by millwright Rietsma of Haulerwijk, Friesland. In 1937, streamlined leading edges were fitted to the sails although the mill stopped working c1940. The mill was restored in 1968-69 by millwright Huberts of Coevorden and returned to work with Herman Snijders as miller. Snijders died in 1997 and the Stichting Molen De Hoop was set up to preserve the mill. A further restoration was undertaken in 2000 by millwright Molema of Heiligerlee, Groningen. A new cap was fitted as well as longer sails and the mill was rethatched. The restored mill was officially opened on 26 August 2000 by Mrs Kools, the Deputy Minister for Culture in Drenthe.
