Molen De Hoop is a windmill from 1736 on the Oudelandsepoort in Tholen. It is a round stone tower mill with a wingspan of 23.60 meters. The mill is located on the water of the old city walls along a walking path.

In 1806, the city sold the mill to Arij de Hond and Johannis Bakker. After that, the mill had many owners until it was sold back to the municipality. The mill was inhabited until 1901. The many windows in the lower part still indicate this. Until 1948, grinding was done commercially. Remarkable is the ten-sided stage.

"De Hoop", built in 1736 to replace an even older post mill. Mill "De Hoop", built on the edge of this beautiful fortified town, turned out to be on an artificial elevation, a kind of mound. It is a round, stone, white-painted flour mill, type mill. And what a statement! The aim is to raise the blades even further to catch as much wind as possible. The scaffolding on which this mill stands is exceptionally high!
