Den Oever is a village in the Dutch province of North Hol-
land. It is a part of the municipality of Wieringen, and lies
about 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of Den Helder. The vil-
lage is located at the west side of the Afsluitdijk: there-
fore the Stevin lock (named after mathematician and en-
gineer Simon Stevin) and three series of five sluices for
discharging the IJsselmeer into the Wadden Sea were
constructed in Den Oever.
In 2001, the town of Den Oever had 2286 inhabitants.
The built-up area of the town was 0.53 km², and con-
tained 938 residences.[1]
The eightsided wooden grain smock mill "De Hoop"
("The Hope") is situated in the middle of the village with
a wingspan of 17 metres (56 ft). It dates back into the
17th century (1654) and has been completely restored in
the second half of the 20th century (1960, e.g. iron wing-
stocks, metal cap rolls for the wheeling or winding (cap
rotating) mechanism from a Gelderland mill, new cast-
iron windshaft etc.). Unusual with the mill is that it never
has had a hoist mechanism.
