    Based on an inscription on this mill, it has often been claimed that it was built in 1506. Some sources indicate that a mill must have stood here as early as 1419. However, after extensive research, standard mill experts have determined that this mill dates back to the 18th century.

    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.

    Only one beam remains of the original, the Standerd, which is at least five centuries old. This is the long, upright pivot around which the entire upper house of the mill can be turned into the wind.

    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.
