Corn mill De Hoop in the Dutch city of Maassluis is a tower mill that was built in 1690, which is evident from a deed. Given the shape and material of the stone mill, this date is also substantiated. A wooden predecessor was erected on this site in 1620.

It is a round stone mill, the roof of which is covered with roofing felt. The blades have a flight of 26.30 meters and have the Old Dutch shape. The landscape value of this mill is very great.

The mill is equipped with two pairs of stones, one of which is so-called Bluestone natural stone. In 1956, the Ten Have system with streamline nose was installed on the inner rod. On September 2, 1963, due to a technical defect (according to the labor inspectorate), the upper shaft of the mill broke and the blade cross collapsed through the scaffolding. The mill was restored from 1969 to 1971 and the Ten Have blade system was replaced by an Old Dutch blade system. The mill has not been used for commercial grinding since the 1963 incident.

The municipality of Maassluis has owned the mill since 1928. He can be visited regularly.
