Until 1913, there was a windmill mill along the river De Linge between Deil and Enspijk, which was destroyed by fire that year. The then miller G.J. De Heus then had a round stone scaffolding flour mill built, which was named “De Haas”.

This mill also burned down in March 1931 and was restored in the same year with parts from, among others, the mill from the village of Heukelum, which was then demolished. To make the strange hood fit, the hull and the roof were shortened by approximately 1.5 m and the attic layout was changed.

The grinding bins are now located in the former grain attic and the stones are in the scaffolding attic. During the 2001/2002 restoration, when the plaster layer on the inside of the hull was removed, the places where the beam layers of both the stone and the loft used to be located were found (the burnt beam heads were still in the wall!). After the restoration of the hull and the plasterwork, these places remained visible deep in the hull.

The mill was previously restored in 1961 and 1975.

Over the years, this beautifully situated mill became increasingly affected by vegetation, which clearly reduced its amenity value. In the spring of 2003, the surroundings of the mill were greatly improved by extensive pruning.

Owners were:
G.J. de Heus (1913 - 1932)
Capel and cons. (1932 - 1944)
Ms. H.P. Capel (1944 - 1955)
Deil Korenmolen Preservation Foundation (1955 - present)
