The oldest known mention of the Poelberg mill dates from 1668, the current wooden post mill was built in 1726. This date has been found on various mill parts. After the Second World War, the mill was repaired from war damage. A thorough renovation took place in 1957. The mill remained in operation until about 1970. When the mill became city property in 1980, it was in a very dilapidated condition. Restoration work began in 1989, making it ready for grinding again in 1993. To preserve the openness of the area and the wind catch, the surrounding landscape was protected as a village view in 1993.

Molenecho's indicates that the Poelbergmolen has one of the most beautiful wooden inscriptions in the country.

For example, on various weighing belts this text dated 9 July 1726 can be read: "Protect God for all people, then you will be graciously seen and if you lose your life, God will give you heaven and Mary will receive you with longing in her kingdom.

... on a central list "Whoever comes to bail must wait until tomorrow."

When you are at the mill, you have a beautiful panorama of the region.
