    The mill was built in 1608 as a stone tower windmill. [1] In 1822 the building was called a grinding mill. The owner was the widow Schoogh. The windmill could only work about four months a year. Therefore there was a lot of debts at the mill. In 1895 it was referred to as a former mill, so it was already shut down. The ruin was rebuilt and renovated in 1912. From 1936 the former windmill was used as a water tower. Today the tower is used for events.

      Beautiful old mill, a real highlight.
