De Vlijt (English: The Diligence) is a smock mill in Meppel, Netherlands. It was built in 2001.
De Vlijt was built in 2001 on the base of a tower mill which had been taken out of use in 1933 and demolished in 1965. The tower had been built on an octagonal brick base which was left standing.[1] The base is currently used as living accommodation and office space.[2]
De Vlijt is what the Dutch describe as an "achtkante stellingmolen". It is a smock mill with a stage. It has four-storey brick base and the stage is at third-floor level, 9.1m (29.9feet) above ground level. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The four common sails have a span of 21.8m (71.5feet).[3] The cast-iron windshaft was made by Fabrikaat Gieterij Hardinxveld in 2001. The mill has no internal gears or machinery.[1]
De Vlijt is not open to the public.[1]
