The deer tree mill is a standard mill with sails of 22 metres in diameter. In all probability, the mill was built around 1727 and the mill house around 1732. During the following centuries, a few restorations took place and the mill remained in operation until 1940, but was then technologically outdated. The building was already recognised as a monument in 1944 and in 1964 the mill and its surroundings served as the setting for the then BRT serial "Kapitein Zeppos".

However, the mill also experienced tragic times: in the past, two robberies and murders took place there and later a sail dragged away two playing children. One child died on the spot and the other was scarred for life. As a result, the mill was nicknamed the "tragic mill".

After the Second World War, three more restorations took place, but the mill still fell into a very poor state. In 2002 the mill was completely dismantled and thoroughly restored.

The windmill of Kapitein Zeppos, the legendary TV series from the sixties, in a beautiful setting.

Beautiful mill, unfortunately had to do a whole piece on foot (large gravel road)
