Was this standard mill rebuilt in the 18th century as a successor to a much older mill?
On May 17, 1771, Asten and the mill were struck by extreme weather, and the mill was overturned. In 1779, just eight years later, the mill was again severely damaged by the storm.

Other parts of the mill are younger. Over time the mill has endured a lot. It was even largely destroyed twice. In the 18th century it was blown over during a severe storm and burned down in 1970 after being completely restored a few years earlier.
