The 'Good Hope' mill is a so-called 'tower mill'. It is built of brick and stands on a small mound. Originally, it was used as an oil mill, and only later also as corn windmill.
The brick body of the mill is 15 metres high. The most striking feature of this mill is its iron stage or gallery. The sails have a span of 24 metres.
Inside, the mill is divided into several floors or lofts. The lower floor was originally equipped for oil crushing. The first loft is the flour loft. The second is the stone loft, because that is the floor on which the millstones are located.
