    Nooit Gedacht is located in Veenoord on the waterfront, diagonally across from the Van Gogh House. This is where Vincent van Gogh slept and reached by barge. This waterfront location has become even more important in recent years. A few years ago, the Veenvaart canal opened, allowing boaters to take a "tour of Drenthe." Anyone who does this tour will encounter this windmill, and there's a good chance it's turning!

    This windmill has a long history of relocation. A previous mill had stood at this location, but the current one was built here in 1916. It was originally built in Leeuwarden, then moved to Heerenveen, and then stood in Hankate. Its current location is therefore the fourth location of this mill. In the world of windmills, it's believed that no other smock mill has moved so often.
