The mill's history dates back to 1712, when it was built as a paper mill by Cornelis Hollman from Maastricht, with the approval of Mr. van Neubourg and Gulpen, a descendant of a German family of paper manufacturers. Rags were ground up to 1840, with an interruption from 1809-1816, and paper was manually shoveled from the pulp. In 1845 the mill was bought by the then lord of Neubourg, Count Oscar Franz Michiel Marchant d'Ansembourg. In 1853 the count received permission from the province to convert the mill from paper mill to grain mill. Until then, grain grinding was done in the old Neubourger mill located near the castle. After the conversion into a grain mill was completed, the grinding of grain was moved to this mill and the mill near the castle was demolished. The converted mill had a wooden waterwheel with a diameter of 5.12 m and a width of 1.54 m. In 1885 this wheel was replaced by a wheel with a diameter of 1.64 m and a width of 1.36 m. In 1905 the mill was destroyed by fire, but the waterwheel was spared. In 1907 the mill was modernized and a turbine with an iron movement was put into use and in 1930 an electric motor was added to be used when the water power of the Gulp failed. In 1952 the mill was sold to the Roex brothers, whose forefathers had been tenant farmers for more than a century.
