The mill, originally belonging to the Heerlijkheid Oploo in 1516 and dating from 1725, has functioned as an oil, grain and husking mill over the centuries. Until the beginning of the twentieth century he worked as an oil mill, extracting linseed and rapeseed oil. Due to water shortages in the Molenbeek, horse power was sometimes used. Later they switched to grain milling, first with water power and later with a diesel engine.

The Vloetbeek had insufficient water supply for year-round use, so the windmill 'de Korenbloem' was built in 1800 to be able to grind all seasons. During WWII the mill was used for bakers from eleven surrounding villages and was in use until 1953. After restoration from 1968 to 1991 it became a youth center, but voluntary grinding still takes place.
