De Gooyer

De Gooyer is a smock mill in Wolvega, Friesland, Netherlands which was built in 1916. It has been restored to working order. It is listed as a Rijksmonument.
De Gooyer was built originally built in 1775 at Blesdijke, Friesland where it was used as a drainage mill. Circa 1835, it was moved to Noordwolde, where it was converted to a corn mill, the Molen van Menga. In 1917, the mill was moved to Wolvega and converted back to a drainage mill. The work was carried out by millwright Lute Middendorp of Wolvega. The mill replaced a hollow post mill that had been struck by lightning on 11 July 1917 and burnt down. The mill was restored in 1967-69. In 1986, it lost its sails in a storm. The mill was known as De Wâlden, only gaining the name De Gooyer after a restoration in 1990-91 by millwright Tacoma of Stiens, Friesland. The mill was officially opened on National Mills Day, 11 May 1991. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, №38882.
